Day 3 - Walking around all day

In the morning, we walked over to the Andersen Bakery at the Tokyu Department Store near the Shibuya Station and I bought some kind of orange flavored pastry for breakfast. Then we didn’t waste any time and headed to the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line to get from the Shibuya Station to the Asakusa Station where the Senso-ji Temple was. It was a Saturday and the place was crowded with tourists as well as locals.
You enter the temple area through Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate).

Once you’re in, leading to the the entrance of the temple is this street Nakamise which is full of gift, souvenir and food shops. Once you enter the main temple area, there were crowds of people trying to get in to give their prayers. There wasn’t much to do there though, but as a tourist, one must go there at least once. After we exited the temple area, we wandered around the shops in the area and when it was time for lunch, we tried out this Japanese restaurant on the main strip. Just like many other Japanese restaurants, they had all these nice plastic food displays in the front. We had:
Ramen
Pork Cutlet & Egg Over Rice
Bento Box After lunch, we took the Ginza Line back towards Shibuya but we got off at the Ueno Station and then transferred onto the Hibiya Line and then got off at the Akihabara Station where the Electronic Street was. First went to the huge 7 story electronic store Softmap. As usual, there were lots of new cell phones, TVs, and I even had a chance to check out the new WiiFit which is not yet available in the US. After wandering on the streets a little more, got back onto the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and headed to Ginza. We got off at the Hibiya Station which was connected directly to The Peninsula Tokyo Hotel were we were going to have afternoon tea. Just like the last time I was here we ordered:
Café Latte
Peninsula Breakfast Tea
Iced Lemon Tea
Page Boy Hat Chocolate Cake with 3 kinds of condiments
2 of The Peninsula Classic Afternoon Tea which consisted of sandwiches, deserts and scones.
After we were done, we circled around the outside of the hotel. I was surprised to find Freshness Burger – a Japanese burger chain – to occupy an entire building across the street. Then we walked down to the main shopping strip of Ginza and visited the Sony building there. Just like last time, most of the items displayed are things that are readily available and there wasn’t anything new. They did have one of Sony’s new phones in Japan that had a 5 megapixel camera. But my phone has one also. Then we went across the street to the Nissan showroom. Instead of the new Infiniti G37, they had the new GT-R on display. You can touch it and even sit in it as much as you want. Oh, and btw I saw one on the street speeding by the day before. Finally we walked over to the Burberry Store which carried all the lines including Burberry London, Burberry Black Label & Burberry Blue Label.
I was very sleepy afterwards, so we took the train back and stopped by the supermarket of the Tokyu Department Store to pick up some sushi to bring back to eat.
