We had two outings on my last full day in Tokyo. First, we took a taxi to the Tokyo American Club, which has really nice facilities for its members. There is a full-sized pool and also a kiddie area where Kent played.
We ate lunch at one of their favorite places. Then, after naps, we took the train to Takeshita Street, which is a tourist attraction/young people shopping area near one of the train stations. The street is pedestrian only, and is so crowded it's hard to walk through. I wanted to spend more time in the Daiso (100 Yen) store and there is one there. The store is also so crowded that it's hard to get around, but it has lots of good stuff and I wanted to spend time looking around. There are a few things that cost more than 100 yen, but it's like a Dollar Tree on steroids!
I bought (among other things!) a set of "trainer chopsticks". They are too short for my hands, but they have rubber rings and I put those onto a full-sized set, and I plan on practicing with them!

This is the street that Takeshita Street comes off of.
There are mobs of people waiting at the crosswalk. |
