Japan Part 4 (Tokyo)

Wow, We have been home less than 24 hours and it seems like we were just here. We really miss Japan, but we were ready to come back to our home in Korea.

Tokyo is HUGE and I'm sure there was a lot of things to do, but we just hung out around our awesome hostel, Khaosan Tokyo Samurai, even the name is awesome. Our room had two sets of bunk beds and a communal shower and bathroom with others also staying there. Our location was great because it was a popular area in Tokyo. We were close to the oldest temple, a bunch of Onsens, and some AMAZING FOOD! 

This is a part of the oldest temple in Japan. When we saw it we looked at each other and thought..... Wow this places doesn't look old (LOL) Oh well it was beautiful. 

Now moving on to the food!!! We had some amazing food. My goal was to eat some traditional Japanese food and we did. Nick even tried some with me (he actually liked it and had his share of it).

 

 











Please don't ask me what my favorite food was.. Because I will tell you the truth, I liked all of it. Just to name some of the picture above. We had sea urchin, caviar/crab salad, lobster, Kobe Steak, Sushi, potato pizza, and mexican food. One of my favorites that I forgot to take a picture of was okonomiyaki. If you are an adventurous eater you would have been in love. There was so many things to try.. I was in love!

While walking around Tokyo we saw some cool things. These two pictures are of Shibuya, a huge shopping area in Tokyo. The crosswalk is famous, all the traffic stops for the people to cross the road in every direction. It was cool to watch and be apart of!

Korea is even popular in Japan!

 We found this Tesla while walking home from church on Sunday. It was a beautiful car!

These were everywhere, Nick really wants one.. Maybe I'll give in one day. (don't hold your breath sweetie)

We visited the Toyota factory and that was really cool. It isn't in Tokyo though, we had to travel by train for a few hours just to get there, but it was worth it. We got to watch the final assembly line. My Brothers would have loved it! We were allowed to take pictures in the Museum area but not the factory.

The Robot played "Over the Rainbow"   It actually played the trumpet, not just a recording.  I could hardly believe my ears!

After our awesome week we took the train all the way back to Fukuoka on Thursday and stayed at the Japanese Ryokan Kashima Honkan. Then Early Friday morning we took the ferry back to Busan, ate some food, caught a bus then taxi back home to CEV! We unpacked and put away everything right when we got home. Nick went out to get groceries and I washed clothes and cleaned the apartments.

Our whole trip was super fantastic. We want to go back and spend more time in Kyoto and some other places. We are grateful that we got home safely and that we have a couple days rest before work on Monday. We are also grateful for those of you who read our blog and hope we can entertain you with more of our adventures in the future.
