Our last day was a tour of Tokyo city.

First up: Asakusa Kannon Buddhist Temple

We also got to shop along Nakamise Shopping Street, though once again, we were too early for most of the shops to open. But... Somehow I managed to purchase a really nice but expensive beret!! Oops... =)


We then proceeded on to Ueno Market, a place where we could buy lots of food at cheaper prices! It was there that I told the Boy it would be a good time to buy a box of hi-chew. But, the silly dodo that he is thought that the airport might sell it at a cheaper price. In the end… I was right, and we were a box of hi-chew less…Boo to that though I did manage to buy some mochii to make up for it.


It was on to Ginza, place of high-class shopping, home to the ever famous Burberry Blue brand… It is here that we ascertain our beliefs that we were in a tour of rich people, as most of them bought the expensive label back home.


After a whole lot of shopping, we bought tickets to the monorail, as we made our way to Venus Fort. It was quite cool trying out the public transport system of Japan. In fact, there were many other tourists on board as well.




After a few stops, we finally came to Palette Town, where Venus Fort was located.


It seems like we stuck true to our hobby of photography, as we decided to give shopping a miss, and instead take more pictures.


When we finally stopped and made our way into Venus Fort for some lunch, we discovered that due to the festive season, the shopping mall has prepared some lovely lightings for its shoppers!


Since I'm a lover of all pretty things, I feel in love with the beautiful lightings of the mall.

After lunch, we proceeded on to our final destination – Tokyo Bay

There, we took pictures of the Statue of Liberty and the Rainbow Bridge against the ever beautiful sky of Japan.

And then… It was time to go home!! =(

It was really sad to know that it was time to leave beautiful Japan and head back to Singapore. I thoroughly enjoyed the nice cool weather, and the opportunity to wear my boots! (Seriously, Japan is such a boot country, regardless of age.) And although this marks the end of our Japan trip, I am very sure we will return once again, especially when we have yet to capture Mount Fuji on camera! Japan 2011?
