This place was around the corner from our Ryokan. 
It was so convenient and fun we are there twice. 
You grab a plate, and each color plate has a different price. This is hamachi.
I picked up ponzu sauce instead of soya sauce and the sushi chef scolded me!
Pickled eggplant nigiri
The oldest temple in Tokyo, it was crowded with people.
On each side, there are souvenir shops and snacks.
Many flavours of ice cream to choose from.
Yam fries
Treats on a stick
Osaka balls
There were lots of street food stalls.
Tokyo Skytree in the background
We found a playground nearby, the Tokyo Skytree in the background.
It was nice to find a place to escape the crowds and burn off some steam.
This was a beautiful little restaurant.
About 30 minutes from downtown, we stayed in a nice hotel on the ocean.
Pijamas ( yukatas ) are provided in many hotels. So are toothbrushes!
The black ones are charred bamboo bread, the green are matcha green tea bread.
I had never had lotus root before this trip and it is delicious. 
This is was from the “western” breakfast buffet.
This was the dining room on the top floor. 
The views from the top floor. 
Passenger ferry to Miyajima
Not a lot of room to move with 3 beds. There’s no such thing as a king hotel bed. 
We tried to avoid McDonald’s while on our trip, but stopped once for dinner. They have a fried shrimp, ebi burger.
It was OK, but tasted quite a bit like a McChicken.
Comparing food prices between Japan and home, things seemed quite comporable. This was meals for three of us. 
It came to less than $20 Canadian, which is about the same as at home.
Then we continued exploring Shabuya.
The floating torii
Yes, this place was a little bit of a tourist trap, but it was still fun.
The temple built on the water
A really nice tourist area with ice cream shops and restaurants.
I gather a lot of trash is incinerated. 
Another nice beach.
The temple built on stilts over the water. The tide was going out.
