2014 Japan Trip with Jacob--Tokyo: Day 3

The first and third days of our trip were mostly spent with my Japanese cousins. On the second day, Mike met with some members of a detonation company in Scuba and toured their facilities while Jacob and I hit the Tokyo streets in search of fun little souvenirs!


Jacob and I found the coolest toy figures at a place called Yorobashi,
the largest electronics store in the world
My grand boys would have LOVED the toys here!

Jacob orders an interesting drink at the Gundam Cafe in Akihabara
Inside the Gundam Cafe, a must-see on Jacob's to-do list

This is the place where Jacob and I finally ate lunch

Yum! This was the BEST katsudon and thinly sliced cabbage
Baby clam shells at the bottom of our miso soup
There were SO MANY restaurants to choose from in Tokyo
The strange "Maid Cafe" in Tokyo was one of the top things on Jacob's to-do list
He disappeared for an hour and a half and only ordered a drink and dessert ...
Jacob and I went to see the Kanda Myojin shrine in Ochanomizu, near Akiba
It was late when Mike joined us for a stroll in downtown Tokyo and a late dinner
The city is so pretty at night with its lights, bridges, and river
We found a place to eat okonomiyaki and yakisoba--both of which are cooked on a griddle
Jacob had a long day of walking and shopping and loved the food
