Meet me at Hachicko
Hachiko is the most famous meeting spot in Japan. Read the cool origin story here if you're interested. Being back in Shibuya, the young heart of Tokyo brought back a lot of awesome memories.
Ueno Zoo
After having a quick refreshment at the huge Starbucks in Ueno Park, Daddy, Robin and I went to the little zoo in the park. My favourite exhibits where the pandas, the elephants and the seal along with the walrus type thing. The walrus thing and the seal were so entertaining to watch. They would swim back and forth in a circle and occasionally swim up this water tube (although the walrus thing was too fat!). The elephants seemed really smart and the trainers were grooming them like they were horses. The pandas were super cute- one was named Lily and the other was Shinshin. They would just sit, eat, sit, and eat some more!
The Yamanote line
Abby said today "why can't Toronto be like this". She was referring to the incredible organization of the streets, walkways and especially the trains. You can really get used to being able to take a train to within 500 meters of anywhere in this huge metropolitan area. We took a little stop motion video of the ring route Yamanote line that goes around central Tokyo.
