Japan Visit 2010

Well we were back in Tokyo today after an absence of almost 10 days.  Strangely, it felt like returning back to somewhere that we know really well – it’s amazing how quickly you get used to a place! 

This morning we travelled to the Sumo museum and then took in the Edo Museum right next door.  Neither are widely publicised and that’s a shame because they are both worth a visit.  After the museums as we were in the Sumo district of Tokyo we tried a bit of Sumo spotting.  Unfortunately none where about but I suspect after the tournament last week they were all in their bed recovering!

In the afternoon, we went back to Akihabara to buy some souvenirs for folks back home.  Found a terrific little shop and got lots of stuff.  By the time we did that and got some lunch it was time to head back to the hotel.

We ventured into Shinjuku tonight for some dinner and found fab wee Italian place that served great Pizza and an interesting take on garlic bread. 

The weather looks pretty bad tomorrow so I’ve got no idea what we’re gonna do.
