Spring Vacation Trip: Tokyo Day 3 - Asakusa & Tokyo Municipal Government Building Observatories (FREE)

Final day in Tokyo! Here are some shots around Asakusa!







Lunch...sushi as usual...only $1 per plate for most of the sushi!


And no one told me there was Wendy's in Japan T_T






Don't want to pay for Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Tower, try the Tokyo Municipal Government Building! It's completely free!

There are two observatories and their hours vary so check the website above before you go!

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

Shinjuku-ku, Tōkyō-to 163-8001
Japan






For dinner that night, I believe the place we went to eat steak is a chain. You get to choose your cut of meat and then they bring it out to you and tell you the weight for your approval (I think it was charged at a certain rate per 100 grams). Then you get to watch through the glass kitchen the chef cook the steak to your desired temperature. All the sides are sold separately except for what you saw here - a little sprinkling of corn, garlic, and onions. Overall the meat was good quality and quite tasty!




And that about wraps it up for this visit to Tokyo! Many people like to compare Japan and Korea and more often Seoul and Tokyo. While both Seoul and Tokyo are large, populous cities, they are quite different from each other...at least in my opinion. It's worth visiting both countries and both cities for that matter to appreciate the differences.  While I've visited Japan quite a few times now, there are still many places I want to see! I hope to head north next time I visit or maybe some in the middle of the country. If you have recommendations, please let me know!
