Missed and Overlooked Images

On one of the mornings we were in Tokyo, Mt Fuji was actually visible from Yuko's Condo.

Unfortunately, it was not one of the mornings we were actually at her condo.

The sprawling scramble intersection just outside Shibuya Station is an embodiment of Tokyo itself: action in all directions.

In the Tokyo Dome

Yes, that is an amusement park in Tokyo Dome City, and the roller coaster goes through the middle of the Ferris Wheel.

Outside the dome, there is entertainment!

The Mascot... or at least one of them

The Giabbits are a group of rabbits who represent the Yomiuri Giants. There's two twin adult male Giabbits named Mr. Giabbit (team number 555, wears a hat) and Giabyi (team number 333), an adult female Giabbit named Vicky, and two twin children Giabbits (boy and girl respectively) named Tsuppy (wears shorts) and Chappy (wears a skirt and headband on her left ear), and Grandpa. Their features are based on the Yomiuri Giants logo. (Thanks fandom.com)

We attended the pep-rally in the plaza

There are also these not-cheerleaders

Let's go inside

A Picnic

We picked up sushi and flatbread in the Basement Food Hall of Ginza Mitsukoshi

Then we took it to the 9th-floor terrace

Herb Garden for the restaurant

The Clock Tower across the street

Thanks to Amy for the images of the terrace.

Then back to the hotel for a break before the evening's adventure.

Our Last Full Day, Where Did the Time Go?

Tsukiji Outer Market

A Little History: In Chuo City, Tokyo, the Tsukiji wholesale fish market opened in 1935, though similar venues have existed in the surrounding area since the early 1600s.  In 2018, the wholesale market sales were estimated at 5 million pounds of fish DAILY.  In October of 2018, the wholesale market moved 3km to a new facility.  What remains, is the Tsukiji Outer Market, a, still impressive, smaller wholesale and retail fish market spread over and through several blocks. As will happen, other food-related vendors have also moved in, so again, you can get almost anything for the kitchen.

Huge Oysters!

Live Prawns

A Little Torched Tuna

Fish on a Stick Stall

Grilled Eel on a Stick

Fresh Wasabi

The day is looking clear, so off to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observatory - another 30-minute train ride. So maybe from over 200 meters up, we can see Mt Fuji and other highlights.

Alas, no Mt Fuji this afternoon.

Surprise ! It is time for lunch.
