it was great to go back to tokyo and get our fill of things we missed (ice cream nut bars and first kitchen flavour fries), do a bit of shopping, and a few touristy things we missed the first time around.
some notable things...
- sumo tournament in ryogoku (so much fun!)
- out to hakone to see mt.fuji
- cat cafe in kichijoji
- wandering around lost in shimokitazawa at night. wish we could have gone back during the day.
- 6+ antwerp fashion exhibit at the opera city art gallery
- namjatown in sunshine city in ikebukuro
- shiba inu spottings
- yakitori in train underpass in ginza (again)
- tsukiji fish market
- sanja-matsuri festival in asakusa
- so much more.

looks like it was a great trip! and i hope it lifted your spirits!!!
You must post more Steph!! All of your traveling adventures, I'm living through you!! I wish I could go to Tokyo!! Or anywhere for that matter! But I have visions of Japanese fabrics swimming in my head....so jealous of you!
-h: yes, it did~ but it was a bit sad to go home :(
mel: there was a lot of cute fabric! you would go nuts!
wow I was just in Japan recently too!
But first and foremost I hope the trip definately made you a little cheerier!
How'd u know of all those places to go to? I basically went shopping in the dept. stores near the railway lines and that basically already ate up 4 days of time! Did you have like a book or something about where to go in Japan? Or can you speak Japanese? Wow! I'm so amazed by all that you did there!
I'm sorry you were feeling down... I can totally understand wanting to leave for Tokyo and never come back, but I'm glad you had a great time and have great memories (and photos!) to take home with you.
