This is the last blog of the series. Continued from Day 6.
We woke up and this time ate breakfast at Cafe 24, in the lobby of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel.
On this day, we decided to use the JR railway once more and take a tour of Tokyo. One of our main stops was to Keio University Medical Campus, one of Japan’s prestigious public universities. It is located in Shinanomachi.
We then took the train to Ueno Station to visit the Ueno Park. It is well known for the cherry blossoms that bloom during the spring time. It is also famous for its many museums including Tokyo National Museum, National Science Museum and the National Museum of Western Art. I was also surprised to see many homeless gathered here as well as in the stations.
We ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant nearby called Houraikaku. We had omelets and noodles, which were saltier, but nonetheless flavorful.
Then it was time to head back to the hotel to check out and we made our way back to the Narita Airport. It took a shorter time back due to the jet stream and 9 hours later we were back in Los Angeles.
