Travelogue Tokyo-Day 6 Odaiba and dinner

I took the long way around to get to Shimbashi via the northern end of the loop rather than heading back south or even cutting across.

Travelogue Tokyo-Day 6 Ikebukuro

This is a quick visit to Ikebukuro.  I came.  I ate.  I left for Odaiba.  Heading down Green dori towards the Sunshine City complex

Travelogue Tokyo-Day 6 Shibuya

I heard the wind blowing pretty hard last night.  Forecast had some rain and it turned out to be blustery in a few places.  So I opted out of Fuji Q and worked my way around the loop starting with Shibuya

Travelogue Tokyo-Day 5 Recon

Before heading to Tokyo station, I had to check off the takoyaki.  They were done just right with a crispy outside and hot gooeyness inside.  But not so hot that you wished you never had a mouth.  I went to Tokyo station because Im thinking about taking a bus to Fuji Q Highland the next day.  Got some literature and went to see that the ticket office opens at 6:00am.  I didnt buy the tickets right away.  Im going to see what the weather report is going to be like.  ON the Fuji Q webiste, a number of rides including Fujiyama were closed due to high winds 

Travelogue Tokyo-Day 5 Ramen Festival

This wasnt exactly on my radar before the trip.  I had just found out about a few days ago.  More can be found at http://dai-tsukemen-haku.com/ (japanese).  Its a 6 week event that began last week.  Each week runs from Thurs to Sun and a different theme in the city of Machida.
