Asakusa and Akihabara

We got a little bit of a later start today because I spent the morning doing laundry in the hotel laundromat. We walked over to a Scandinavian cafe to pick up pastries to eat for breakfast. Then we took the subway over to Asakusa. We got there in a very round about way because we had a little bit of difficulty navigating the subway. Once we reached Asakusa station, we stopped by a cafe for coffee. Japanese coffee is pretty good. We haven't had a bad cup since we've been here.

After our coffee, we walked over to Nakamise-Dori and we shopped in this area for a couple of hours. We also had to go find a store called Eri No Takasa-goya for Alexis odori clothes. After asking a few people for directions, we managed to find the place to purchase the odori clothes. After looking at some more shops, we walked over to Sensoji Temple to walk around. We started to get hungry, so we started to look for a place on our way to Akihabara, our next destination. We stopped off at a random restaurant, and we ate their lunch set menu. Alexis had curry and udon, and I had sukiyaki and udon. It was pretty tasty, and I was starving so anything would have tasted good at this point.

We walked around Akihabara and window shopped through all of the stores. It seems like they have electronic devices for everything. I took a close look at their rice cookers, and I found one that costs approximately $900. I didn't try to figure out what it could do, but I hope it washes the rice too. While in Akihabara, we spotted a Uniqlo, so we shopped in there for a few minutes before heading back to Shinjuku.
