After a day's worth of rest, I was ready for another packed day of fun and excitement. After visiting the bank to exchange some of my USD to yen ($120.00 => ~106 yen), I met with John, Yuko (the other Yuko, who greeted me at the airport), Sally, Tim, Wesley, and Yuko's friend at the Machida statue.
Pictures taken before and from Tokyo Tower.Our first visit was straight to Tokyo Tower, where we were all able to act like the tourists we were and snap hundreds of pictures within half an hour. The view was amazing, and like all other places of Tokyo, there were plenty of interesting sights to see. Though Mt. Fuji was supposedly viewable, it was a tad too foggy to get a clear view.
After spending some time talking and having fun in the Tower, we shipped off to Shibuya for some exploration and relaxation. After taking a few photos in front of the famed "Hachiko" statue (and more in specialized and high-tech photo-editing booths), we shipped it off to a specially themed bar called "The Lockup".
Yuko and Sally at "The Lockup"! We were really in a cell :(.After a short jaunt through a horror house-themed area, a girl dressed in a racy version of a police uniform promptly handcuffed me and Wesley, and our group was led to a small cell-like room where we were given interesting drinks and good food- the final price came out to about 7000 or so yen for 6 people... It's certainly not cheap, but I can definitely think of places in Boston and New York that charges about the same, but without any of the perks. Hah!
