30 Hours in Tokyo Day 2

Our first stop on Money morning was the Tsukiji Fish Market I remembered it bring stressful when I was there with Mom and R, and this time proved no different. In addition to the speeding mass of tuggers the wind was blowing disposable Styrofoam coolers into the air making it even more difficult to navigate.


Following the fish market we somewhat inadvertently ended up at Hama Rikyu Garden which was still mostly dormant, but did have a large field of blooming yellow flowers. Next stop, the Sensoji Temple complex. In comparison to some of the temples in Nara and Kyoto it was nice, but not amazingly impressive.
Three day weekends are exhausting, after Sensoji we stopped near Roppongi Hills at Chinese Cafe Eight (If you go to their website, be sure to checkout the staff bio page) for a late lunch. I cant recommend the restaurant because the dining room is all smoking and there are no vegetarian items on the menu.
Finally on our way back to Nagoya by Shinkansen.
