Up at 4:30am again, but back to sleep a few hours. Finally out to get breakfast to bring back and eat. Not a lot open, but we are successful.
We get ready and go to Meiji Jingu shrine. Lots of walking but, just so beautiful... naturally and the shrine itself. We did the washing after entering, made a wish, and even went to the altar for a prayer. We walked around through the garden area until almost 11am. Nice... right outside was a metro station, so we hopped on going to EDW Yellow. We exit the metro, pop up, huh... we're in the Shibuya scramble... in fact we did the scramble! A short walk to EDW Yellow and a line. However, it moved faster than expected and soon we were sitting down.
The omurice was great, but I think maybe the French toast we split stole the show.
After that, we split up, with the girls exploring and shopping, and me headed back to rest a bit. We all finally convened at the airBnB and all got some rest. Hopefully enough to do more things at night and hopefully sleep past 4am.
We took the metro to Shinjuku station and explored from there. Shinjuku is probably what everyone thinks of when thinking of Tokyo, lot's of big buildings and neon are far as you can see. It's also the home of Tokyo's red light district, but very conspicuous and discreet compared to other places. We finally made it to stop one: the Godzilla head! Very cool. Even got to see the last animated roar for the night.
After that we took a short walk to Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane). A famous alley of small restaurants and bars. We eat, drink, chat, and laugh (and drink more).
Then we all made our way back to the rental. Hey, finally out past 10:30pm... look at us!
