Tokyo - first evening

After the sumo we went to Akihabara. The attraction here is the electric town (everything electronic) and the anime (cartoon character) area. It was certainly vibrant and colourful.




There were even the maid girl spruikers


and incredibly noisy pachinko parlours


We didn't last too long before heading off for dinner at a sushi train restaurant. You either selected from the train as nrmal, or ordered off an iPad and your food arrived promptly at your stall on a second level "train track". We did the latter.


It was now 7 pm and we were both quite tired so it was back to Ueno 


and the ryokan


where after a quick change of clothes


it was time for tea and a traditional bath


before retiring on now doubled mattresses
