As I type, we’re at the Shinkansen south gate waiting to catch the train back to Osaka, for our flight home tomorrow.
We covered a lot of the major sites and attractions in and around Tokyo, a place we feel everyone should visit. They are already gearing up to the 2020 summer Olympic Games and we’re hoping we may make it back for them 😊
The past two days were spent doing a lot of window shopping and enjoying some of the parks which are really nice to stroll through. We also visited the Tsukiji fish market of all things, which believe it or not is actually one of the must see attractions in Tokyo, why, because it’s the worlds biggest fish market. It was huge and a crazy selection of fish available, it was well worth a visit. There are also 100’s of other market stalls selling all sorts of foods and drinks.
After our amazing dining experience at the Molecular Tapas Bar, we opted for sushi the following evening.
However this was sushi on a 21st century level. You order your food with a touchscreen menu, which makes it very easy as you can visually see what your ordering and you can go into the various categories. In front of you are three shelves, which are magnetic conveyor belts!
When you place your order and after only a minute or two, your prompted by your touchscreen to say your dish is on the way and which conveyor it’s on and sure enough, your food arrives to where your sitting, you take it off the little hover board thing, confirm on your touchscreen and the tray moves off again, back into the kitchen. All you have to do then, is tuck in and order as much more as you like, it’s pretty cool!
To finish, we’re going to do some last minute shopping in Osaka (I don’t think the credit card is maxed out yet 😉) and we’ll grab a bite to eat, more sushi perhaps!
Hope everyone enjoyed reading the blog – we will get some photos up when we get home, bye for now, see you all when we get home.
