Before we resume our in depth exploration of Tokyo, Kate needs bread and she finds the best Ciabatta she's had in a year. Tokyo really does have the best food in the world. We walk from our hotel in Shinjuku to the famous Mejii Jingu (Shrine) in Yoyogi Park. This gorgeous Shinto shrine is an oasis of tranquility right in the center of Tokyo. Definitely a must see for any Tokyo itinerary. Following the tranquility of the Meiji Shrine we head straight into the heart of the commercial beast and hit up Harejuku's Takeshita Dori, one of the best shopping (and people watching) areas in Tokyo. We get right into anime culture and explore some awesome clothing and cosplay shops. We make sure to scratch our nerd-itch by shopping our way through all 8 floors of Yodobahi-Akiba, one of the largest electronic stores in the world before exploring the rest of the Akihabara District where get right into the heart of the anime and manga culture in Tokyo...not to mention crowds of people playing Pokemon Go crowding the sidewalks. We make a late night stop for street food in Piss Alley (Omoide Yokocho), a true local favorite. While making our way back through Shinjuku we happen upon Godzilla Road which sports its very own giant Godzilla peaking over a building. Vending machines are central to life in Tokyo so we make sure to hydrate with none other than a Pocari Sweat from right here in it's homeland!
