JAPAN 9 DAYS Series | Tokyo Day 3
MEIJI SHRINE - SHIBUYA - AKIHABARA - ASAKUSA - ODAIBA
Our itinerary for Day 3 should be like this, had we bought the Studio Ghibli Museum ticket's in advance.
1. Studio Ghibli
2. Akihabara
3. Asakusa
4. Odaiba
But to our dismay, tickets were all sold out until 3rd week of November, when we came at Lawson. So if you're planning on including the Ghibli Museum into your itinerary, please please please book your tickets in advance. You may book here http://www.ghibli-museum.jp/en/ticket-information/.
Since we were not able to do the Ghibli, we went to Meiji Shrine instead. We actually don't want to include any shrines and castles in Tokyo. We thought we'll have a lot of that when we came to Kyoto and Osaka. But visiting the Meiji Shrine did not disappoint. We were surprised it has been one of our favorite places in Tokyo.
Just a tip, GO EARLY! We were there as early as 8:30AM. There were not a lot of people yet. And we obviously enjoyed the place, serene and close to nature. Tour groups came at 10AM. And the calm, serene environment immediately disappeared.
MEIJI SHRINE
AKIHABARA
If I were to decide, I would skip Akihabara. Just because, I'm not a die hard anime fan. But because my sister is, then Akihabara it is. The only bonus point for me is that I was able to buy some Ghibli stuffs. That cost a fortune! Lols
ASAKUSA
And again, if I were to decide, hehe. I would not include this very touristy place. We were hoping to buy some good souvenir item here. But oh boy, everything is so expensive in Japan, and nothing impressive. There were a lot of people when we came at 2PM and it was a hot afternoon in Tokyo. We probably spent a good 30 minutes at Asakusa and came rushing for Odaiba.
ODAIBA
We took the train to Odaiba, and it was a scenic ride via Yurikamome. By the time we reached Diver City, we were just in time for the Gundam statue night performance. It was just cool to see Gundam’s head moving, along with some lights and some music.
We were just too tired so we did not explore much. If we were to do it all again, Day 3 Tokyo would just be Meiji Shrine and Odaiba lols; or maybe Shibuya again at night.
