Tag 19. Tokio Teil 4

Today we visited the places we couldn't see yesterday due to the rain.
First, at 9 AM, we visited the Tsukiji Fish Market. The main market relocated some time ago, so only the tourist part remains.
Here you can primarily find food stalls and retailers.
We then continued towards the Imperial Palace and East Garden...passing by the Kabukiza, a truly beautiful theater for traditional Japanese drama.
The East Garden turned out to be the first disappointment in that respect..A quiet and nice park area in the heart of Tokyo..But that's all there is to it...
No feudal park, no chance to catch a glimpse of the Imperial Palace..only mosquitoes...So we moved on from Tokyo Station to Asakusa.
The station was rebuilt to look like it did before it was completely destroyed in World War II. One must say...they did a great job blending this historical building among the modern skyscrapers.
Once we arrived in Asakusa, we wanted to visit the last shrine...in short, we abandoned our plan here..Nakamise Street is a place like Neuschwanstein...full of cheap souvenir shops with various items...crowds of people...of course, only foreign traders come here apart from the locals.
We took a side street back to Kappabashi where, even in the sunshine today, there were more people than yesterday but still manageable, and browsed through some kitchenware.
The last stop on our trip was Akihabara...known as Electric Town.
Upon arriving at Akihabara Station, we immediately noticed...we're not alone...
The district consists of manga and anime shops...whether it's books, DVDs, trading cards, or figurines. Game halls from old to modern...
Electronics stores with spare parts and technology from 30 years ago. Walkie-talkies. World catchers, used PCs complete and in parts, and repeatedly those manga girls inviting you to one of the maid cafes. If you don't have any connection to it, the world seems extremely freaky...
But we had to get a waving cat after all..
We took the train back to the hotel to prepare for a final dinner...because tomorrow our flight back to Germany awaits.
Thank you, Japan, for so many beautiful impressions that will hopefully take a long time to process in my mind.
Good night, Japan.
