Final full day in Tokyo

Image
Our morning began with the heaviest rain I think any of us have walked in! Thanks to our bus driver who had umbrellas for us to explore Asakusa! We saw a beautiful temple and local shops. Before the science museum, we took another ferry ride, this time on a fancy almost submarine like boat!  The Science museum was a hit, with its speciality being looking at a futuristic world.  We couldn’t take a trip to Japan without a Karaoke evening! What a perfect way to end our trip   Today, we will do some final shopping at Akihabara, then head to the airport! 

Tokyo Day 3!

 Breakfast sample for Day 3 in Tokyo!  We began the morning with a two hour drive out of Tokyo to Hakone, where we explored where silver/hot springs winter is mined and where the famous black egg is! It was questionable if we would make it up the Hakone Ropeway, given rainy conditions the day before. We were fortunate enough to make it up the Ropeway, however, clouds blocked our view of Mount Fuji. We enjoyed the ride up, some epic views regardless, and some cooler weather!  After the cable car, we took a ferry ride which brought us back to our bay weather that we were missing!  We ended the night back at our favorite dinner spot! This time, a different menu!
