Ohayo Gozaimasu Tokyo!
Kind of blur when I touched down at Narita Airport, as I didn't really get enough sleep in the flight. Custom and immigration officers were all friendly and super polite. With my tired and horrible look, I had to smile into the camera (compulsory) while getting through the immigration. Hope my super heavy & panda-look eyebags won't frightened the officer.. haha!
First stop of the day was Asakusa Kannon Temple. It was the oldest Buddhist temple in the region. The temple has 2 gates - Hozomon & Kaminarimon. Besides the temple, plenty of shopping could be done at Nakamise, a 200m shopping street. Sweep all the souvenirs, local food, blouse etc here! This really wakes me up!

Our lunch was at a restaurant nearby the temple. There was a 100Yen Shop at the ground floor of the restaurant. Another round of shopping was done there.

A Sumo was spotted... OMG!
Next, moving on to Ginza, a luxury shopping heaven meant to be emptying your wallet! Since it was Saturday, the Central Chuo Dori was closed to all the traffic and became a large pedestrian zone. You could either shop til u drop in the shop, or enjoy a relaxing afternoon along the street.

Ops... a Burberry was hunted!
Next was Harajuku, where Japan's most extreme teenage's style, trend & fashion could clearly be witnessed. It was a very busy & crazy place. Uncountable teenagers would dress up in the craziest way, where word couldn't describe it.
Free HUGS
What a hair!
Finally, Shinjuku, a skyscraper district & the most colourful part in Tokyo. This is a very well known red-light district in Japan. Stripe shows are widely available, and also the Pachinko Centre to kill those Japanese's boredom. Needless to say, love hotels......
Shabu Shabu... delicious dinner
After checking in at Tokyo Dome Hotel, I was already like a dead fish. However, HY was still very energetic, so he went to the shopping mall behind the hotel to hunt for his stuffs. And guess what did he carry back? One full plastic of FOOD, and 2 spectacles.....
