Tokyo Day 6 Tokyo Disneysea

Unlike last year, we got up early earlier this year after enjoying a good night sleep on the sheraton sleeper bed. Tokyo Disneysea which is located just beside tokyo disneyland opens at 10am. Bought the ticket off the counter at the lobby and head off to disneysea via the shuttle bus.

Tokyo Day 7 Feb 19th 2009

Day 7, last day in Tokyo before we head off to Hong Kong. Our initial plan was to cover Roppongi/Harajuku and Shinjuku. However as we need to head off to the airport at 4pm to catch our flight at 8pm, we decided to just walk around Shinjuku.

After waking up and packing our items, we checked out,left our luggage over at the conceige and head of to the Shinjuku Tokyo Metropolitant Government building. It provides free of charge observation deck where you would be able to view the panoramic skyline of Tokyo.

After that we walk towards Sumitomo building ( not too far away from Century Hytaa hotel ) for lunch. The top 4-5 floor of the building are filled with restaurant and it offers a great view of Tokyo. We decided to eat at the shop below and prices for the mean was quite reasonable.

After lunch, we did some last minute shopping at Odakyu shopping mall. I manage to grab my camera LCD protector. Also check out the canon camera but find that the prices are quite comparable back home due to the high exchange rate then.

We headed back to the hotel at 4pm to collect the luggage and took the Hilton Free Shuttle Bus to Shinjuku and subsequent board the metro to Haneda airport. The terminal 2 ( where we got off from the metro ) is modernly design unlike terminal 3 ( which we were suppose to board our plane ). We should have spend more time in terminal 2 but then again we were quite tired and decided to head to the lounge to rest before the flight.

A friend of mine recomended me to try Royce chocolate. This chocolate is very unique whereby it is kept at a control temperature and customers are advice to immediately eat the chocolate. The chocolate melts as you put it in the mouth.....

We felt sad that we were leaving but we mentioned that we will definately come back for Osaka,Kyoto and Hokkaido in near future...
