We woke up with hot showers, comfy Yukata's and the pitter patter of soft rain. A traditional breakfast welcomed us to the beauty of tokyo. After the last sip of warm miso soup, we headed off to our first spot: Shibuya. We walked along the quiet streets of tokyo to meet the busy train station in which took us to the heart of Tokyo. We had some free time to explore Shibuya and its many shops and restaurants. After crossing the street many times with, what seemed like, the population of adelaide, we caught another train to TAKESHITA street. We had 2 hours to shop till we dropped (literally) in the bustling street. We then took more trains to the infamous Tokyo Skytree. We travelled hundreds of metres up to the skytree lookout. The view was breathtaking and satisfying to see the busy city of tokyo from high above. After many gasps and photos taken from the students, we headed back to the beloved train station. We arrived to the centre of the technology section of tokyo; Akihabara. We emersed ourselves with anime, arcade games and tempura/burgers for dinner. We eventually headed back to our hotel, our hands were full with shopping bags and our stomachs full of good food. We were exhausted but truly excited for what comes next in the wonderful country of Japan.
