Rossett Japan Exchange - Day 4

Today we went site-seeing around Tokyo. We were shown around by our tour guide David.

For lunch, David took us to a sushi bar. In the sushi bar, the food came round on a conveyer belt and you took of the food you wanted.

Places visited:
East imperial gardens
Asakusa
Shijuki tower
Memory lane

We had a sample of green tea in Asakusa.

We ate our evening meal at a restaurant in Tokyo. Then we went back to the hostel. 

This is a picture of a famous clock designed by a famous animation designer from Studio Ghibli. It only performs 5 times a day, we were lucky enough to catch it performing.

 

This is a pine tree that we saw in the gardens. It is 300 years old.

This is the green tea we had in Asakusa. 

  

These buildings we saw in Tokyo were designed by a French architect. The building on the left resembles a beer glass, and the right building resembles the Olympic Torch.

Interesting fact:
There are more vending machines in Japan than people in Scotland.
