Japan Day 8 - Akihabara, Ikebukuro, Tokyo Tower

Check out the photo blog for more pics!

Made a brief stop at the Sensouji Temple, which had the iconic huge lantern - Kaminarimon. Apart from that and a short touristy kind of shops, there was pretty much nothing else there.

We headed to Akihabara, the geek town of Japan, where all the electronics shops are gathered.

Pretty boring since it's not like we were looking for anything in particular. I guess the highlight is entering a porn shop since it you cannot find such a place in Singapore! Photography was not allowed and I took this in secret...haha!

A vending machine selling hot foods like ramen and oden in cans.

Since there was nothing much else left, we made an unscheduled stop at Ikebukuro.

Cute Onigiri-man!!

Had our dinner there at Kamakura Ramen which sells Tonkatsu Ramen.

Lastly, we proceeded to Tokyo Tower. At the observatory where everyone was looking at the sunset.

Tokyo city sunset.

Starfish in Tokyo.

Up close and personal with the tower. Somehow, I think it looked more grand and magnificent from far at Mori Tower.
