Shinagawa Station
We woke up 7am to catch an early Shinkansen train. The travel time from Nagoya to Shinagawa was around 1 hour and 44 minutes. The hotel accepts early check-in but we need to pay Y1000 per night. So we decided to go Achihabara first. We took a local JR train to Achihabara. Akihabara is a major shopping area for electronic, computer, anime, and otaku goods, including new and used items. The Electric town is really amazing because of the many signage and wide range of IT products. We visited 4 shops just to feel the price and look for an e-book reader and new camera for Alvin. The three shops didn’t have stock of the e-reader. I asked where to find the Sony Shop and was told that it was in Ginza.
Achihabara Street
Ginza is recognized as one of the most luxurious shopping districts in the world. From the Tokyo station, we walked to Takashimaya, Ginza. We went to Ginza and dropped by Takashimaya first to buy Albert’s JR Train set. After our walk to Takashimaya Alvin felt sick and decided to go back to hotel.

Thank God Alvin was okay after the rest last night. He had a fever that night after our first day trip in Tokyo.
We took the JR Train to Tokyo Station and went to the Imperial Palace Garden. We realized that it was closed; that’s why I scheduled our visit to that place on Thursday. So we just took pictures around the area. The palace is surrounded with gnarled pine trees and thick walls. We sat there, had some potato chips and enjoyed the scenery.

We walked to Ginza to look for the Sony Building to buy e-reader because we didn’t find it in Akihabara. In front of Sony building we saw a small landscape of carnation flowers. I took pictures of the carnations while Alvin and Albert were watching inside the showroom. We were told that the e reader was only available in Europe.
We took our lunch at Yoshinoya in Yurakucho station
We headed to Metropolitan Tokyo. It was a free observatory in Japan. We hoped to see Mt. Fuji but again it was cloudy.
