Travelogue Japan Day 12-Walking the Yamanote Line
Continuing this series until I get all the way around. Today starts at Tokyo station. I start here today be uase I came to hav ramen at another popular spot amongst ramen street, Ikarugo. I choose their number one but in a smaller portion. It similar to the ramen I like at Setagaya with a thick soup. The noodles were straight but had the chew that Im lookong for. All in all I would come back for this again. From here I exit the Yeasu(east) side and head for the outisde of the loop going south. Its not very far to the next station. Inbetween the 2 stations is the Ginza area. Some of the most expwnsive rettail real estate in Tokyo. As I hit Yurakucho station, i go back toward the inside of the loop and come across Hibiya park. A number of phtographers were waiting to take a picture of something. For all I know it could be the running of the carp. I proceed and get to the next station pretty quickly as well. From Shimbashi you can reach Odaiba on the Yurikamome. A very quick walk among these 3 stations
