Busy Busy Busy Day 2/3

OK, so day two was a 'day off'....aka a little bit of a post karaoke hangover.

Let's move on to day three.

We made up for day two and haven't had much time to sit down and write about it. First up was to take a trot around the outside of the Imperial Palace. WE couldn't go in as we needed to pre-book and we were not that organised.  It was a lovely walk around what you might consider to be the central business district of Tokyo.... Big buildings, lots of suits and people being busy in the Marunouchi district. 

Much of the palace did not survive the WWII activities and was rebuilt, some parts did indeed make it out OK but we didn't see them all but had a quick glimpse from the outside.

From there we jumped on the subway and headed for the Roppongi area where the Tokyo Tower is located.  It is a bit like the old and the older...the tower is located right next to the Zojo-Ji Buddhist Temple.  The serenity was quite remarkable considering the location. There is a rather large bell out the front, not sure if a 15T bell is really needed to let you know people are at the front door...

From there we jumped on the subway....and headed to Rappongi Hills, a shopping centre with an observation floor....on the 52nd floor.  The floor also houses a gallery which was displaying a Marvel Comics exhibition.  It was interesting to see and not a bad view at all. Note to self - lunchtime trains are busy...

From there we had a quick rest back at the hotel and headed to Shibuya, where the worlds busiest pedestrian crossing is.  Yep it was busy and we saw many other interesting things.... Not sure what this is, but it was worth taking a photo.

We then ordered dinner at a ticket machine on the footpath and then sat down and had dinner delivered to us...  Good tucker it was!

Totally shattered we headed back to the hotel for a good sleep.

Time for bed as we have an early day tomorrow - heading to Fujiku Amusement Park out by that little hill - Mt Fuji.

WIll write about today's temple, drum museum, waving cats, shopping mall and other antics and tomorrow's adventure when we return. In the meantime, have a random photo from today...
