Day 1 and Day 2 in Tokyo

Day 1

We went to Asakusa Temple which is within walking distance from our hostel.

Day 2
We went and scout around for our bus ride to Kawaguchiko Lake at Shinjuku Station. It was so hard to find the correct place and even harder to communicate/ understand the locals' English.
We managed to get around by asking around in broken Japanese and English. Let me rephrase that. GALE asked around. We just nod our heads at the background and smile.

We started our sightseeing knowing that we are heading to 'a shrine'. When we reached, only then we realized that it is Meiji Shrine. I am starting to think that there is nothing to see in temples and shrines. No relics.

Next, we headed to Harajuku to shop a little and straight to Shibuya to have a look at the busy Shibuya crossing. And then without fully realizing it, we were right where the reconstructed Hachiko Statue is placed.

So that is the end of our day 2 in Tokyo. Tomorrow i think we will be going to Ginza to shop again.
