Day 9 - 2014/10/08 (Thursday)


Sanrio World Store and Lunar Eclipse

A very late blog of day 8 of my trip so some photos such as those of items are outdated. Omatase Shimashita.

Checked out Tokyo MX briefly and Yokai Watch was on..
Some photos from Asakusa in the morning.









 
Now in Ginza Station.



My fav stationary store Itoya.

There are so many shops/restaurants in upper levels and below ground. Too bad I cannot read japanese others I would be more inclined to visit those establishments.



Flowers outside the Questina Store in Nishi-Ginza department store located under the metropolitan expressway on Sotobori Dori. If you like up market Hello Kitty stuff like Shirovski iphone cases go here. Got one for my sister on previous trip along with Hello Kitty carry on size luggage for my niece. No photography allowed inside the Questina store.

Went upstairs to the Sanrio World store. This store has the most merchandise than any other Hello Kitty/Gift Gate store I saw.



















Bought only one item.

This is Nishi-Ginza department store where Sanrio World and Questina are located.


GranRoof on the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station.




Kawaii coin lockers at Tokyo Station. Easy to remember which locker you stored your luggage. These lockers appear to always be in use but you can also store your luggage at the JR tourist info area on the Marunouchi side which I did on my last day before heading to the airport.
 


There are lots of shopping/dinning options here so you can eat/shop if you have time to kill before your train.


Fake food.



Dome that was restored in 2013 st the original Tokyo Station building.
 


Comparison scene from Love Live s1e10 (3:43)

Lots of signs to direct you.



Cannot remember which building this observatory was. The views were very limited. Go to Kitte or Shin-Marunouchi building instead as they are far superior.
Below is of the south-east corner of the park surrounding the imperial grounds.

Just a brief visit to Akihabara to get Captain America figma for my nephew.




Walked around Sensoji and towards Sumida River at midnight during lunar eclipse. Lots of people out taking photos.
