Day 3, Part 2.
(Austin)
So, after we left Shibuya we wandered around and found some where to eat. I don't exactly remember the specific details but I do remember trying to go to a Ramen shop and they were closed at the time and when we walked in they gave us blank stares and we responded with more blank stares. One of the workers finally spoke and basically said "no open". Embarrassment ensued and we quickly made our way away from the place. That being said, I have no idea what we actually had for dinner, I shouldn't have waited 3 months to write this. Whoops.
Anyways, we ate dinner and while making our way back to the station we took an odd path and ended up on... "Romance Street". Suffice to say, it was filled with Love Hotels, cheap places that you and your significant other (or random other) could find a place for a nice...night. That being said, it wasn't seedy like you might expect it to be. It was actually a pretty interesting few minutes walking down the street.
We arrived at the station and took the 40ish minute train ride to Tokyo Skytree. Tokyo Skytree is the tallest building in all of Tokyo, taller than Tokyo Tower. Tokyo Skytree reaches a max height of 634m or 2080ft. Of course, this it the very highest point. The viewing deck is significantly below the height but you still get an amazing view... which we have almost no pictures of. My phone was dying / dead, so elijah took the other pictures, and as I mentioned earlier his phone broke so we lost those pictures. You'll have to settle for the blurry one, sorry!
After Skytree we headed back to the capsules to sleep again. I took some pictures of the hotel's mascot that was on the posters around the hotel. We got back and collapsed.
