Day 8th Harajuku

We have decided to spend out last day in Tokyo for shopping and try our luck to see if we could by any chance meet otaku @ Harajuku.

We passed by Yoshinoya which is located within 500m from Sunroute Shinjuku. As you can see, eating at Japan could be rather cheap at such places whereby they serve a meal ( rice, chicken, vege and soup , inc. water ) for 270yen which is ~Rm10.

Upon reaching Harajuku, the first thing we saw was this group of people in short tight pants. not sure what they were doing buy 'S' was saying that some of them did not wear any underwear. Hmm...could you tell?

The view below is captured @ Harajuku bridge. Interestingly, the station is full of crowd.

Day 7 Tsukiji Market, Ueno Park, Akihabara

We decided to return to Sushi Zanmai @ Tsukiji Market for it's sashimi which is just located 1 stop away from our hotel. This place is highly recomended for its fresh sashimi dish. I had almost the same dish I ordered last year while S tried something different. Price wise, it's not too much more expensive than Malaysia as you can see below. Quality wise, you can't find anything more fresh than here.
