We spent the morning walking to the the Imperial Palace gardens and then on to Akihabara which is an amazing electronics district. The Japanese are great with electronics and there was an incredible range of gadgets.
After our failed attempt to catch up with my friend Steve the day before, we arranged to meet at 2pm near Harajuku. This time there were no problems and after a quick bite to eat we walked to Harajuku station to see the people who get dressed up in all sorts of strange and fancy costumes. Many of the people dress up like characters from anime and manga.
Since it was a nice clear day we decided to go to the top of the Metropolitan Office building to see the city and try and see Mount Fuji. The mountain is very big but it is very hard to see from Tokyo as it almost always cloudy and/or hazy.
We said goodbye to Steve at nearby Shibuya and found a nice restaurant for dinner. Even though no-one spoke English we smiled and with a bit of finger pointing we had a wonderful meal which consisted mostly of little kebabs. We were so full by the time we ate everything!
