2014 Japan Travelogue : Day 4  
We supposed to go to Fujikyu Highland today, but I changed our bus reservation after looking at the wheather forecast and it said that it's going to rain in Fujigoko area. We were still so tired, I went back to sleep after cancelling the bus reservation and slept til 10. At 10.30 without any fixed gameplan, we first went to Shinjuku again to pay for our bus and Fujikyu tickets. I also bought a new camera! It's pink! It has flipped monitor! we decided to go to Ueno Zoo, just to find out that the Zoo is closed on Mondays, lol. We then changed our plan to visit the most famous tourist destination of Tokyo, Asakusa and Tokyo Sky Tree.




Asakusa was crowded as usual. The wind was strong they closed Tokyo Sky Tree for that day. Which was fine by us because by the time we reached Sumida river, our feet hurt so much we knew we couldn't walk further. We decided to go back to Ikebukuro and explore the area. It was closer to our hotel and there are a lot of places to see without getting too tired from the crowd. We grabbed a Turkish kebab around the corner before we continued our trip by subway trains.




I excitedly went to Tokyu Hands in Sunshine City and spent a long time shopping there. Surprisingly, my sister and brother seemed to have suffered so much from pain of their feet, they chose to wait for me sitting on chairs beside the elevators. When we got out of Sunshine City, it was raining and none of us had umbrellas despite the fact that we had known that it's going to rain that day. We foolishly played UFO Catcher executing tricks we saw online, and then we ran to Don Quijotte to shop for snacks and souvenirs. Inside, my sister and brother remembered that they had forgotten a bag of souvenir we bought at Ueno station at Tokyu Hands. So while my sister was lining to pay for the goods we buy at Don Quijotte, my brother and I ventured back to Tokyu Hands in the rain to get the souvenir back. Tokyu Hands and most of Sunshine City had closed and we found no security person to ask about it.

We went back to meet our sister empty handed and wet allover, we'll try to go there again tomorrow to see if they still keep it.
