We visited the Ueno Park first. It was pretty big and there were a lot of small temples and a kiddie amusement park Kodomo Yuen and then there was also a zoo. Pandas were the main attraction!
We then went to the Imperial Palace gardens! It was really beautiful and I couldn't believe I was actually standing so near to the palace where Princess Masako resides. We weren't allowed in to the palace grounds of course but the east gardens took my breath away!
We headed to Meiji Jingu. We walked on the famous bridge where the cosplayers usually hangout.
Meiji Jingu. Wow! The people!!!
We then went to Venus Fort by the new transit YURIKAMOME. The view on the way to Venus Fort was great. We passed by Tokyo Bay, saw the Rainbow Bridge, but we didn't see the Statue of Liberty replica on our way to Venus Fort.
The Fuji TV building
The Rainbrow Bridge
Venus Fort is in Palette Town, a really really big shopping "town" as they named it. They've got everything over there!
Wonderful fountain in Venus Fort
We had some really delicious curry rice from a place called PARK AVENUE.
Mum had white curry and I had the omuraisu with curry.
It was only until the way back that we saw the Statue of Liberty replica. I couldn't pass up the chance so we headed back one stop and I took some pictures of her with the Rainbow Bridge behind her and also the Tokyo Tower further back. The night view was PERFECT.
We walked around Roppongi, and then finally to Ginza.
We got back to TOKYO BACKPACKERS around 9pm.
We packed our stuff and ensured everything was done right. We turned in early. We woke up really early the next day and headed to Narita Airport and flew... home.
Sayonara... Japan.
End of Day 13.
