Vancouver to Japan cruise/Trafalgar tour - #11 - September 26 to October 23/2017...



Monday, October 16th - we had an included breakfast with Trafalgar during the three days we spent here - we ate on the 40th floor.  Good buffet breakfast, and amazing views...



We met at 9 o'clock in the front of the hotel, and boarded Trafalgar's bus.  Again, heavy rain.    First, we went to the Senso-Ji Temple - a very busy place - we climbed the Temple stairs and heard the monks chanting inside. There were lots of sights around, including a garden with a Buddha, and there were numerous stalls.  Everybody had an umbrella, so quite difficult to walk.
Then we went to a restaurant and made sushi.  There was a Chef to teach us, and we had the sushi for lunch.  We did take our shoes off....

We then went shopping for about ninety minutes in Ginza, Tokyo's main shopping area.  Again, so raining out, you did not want to walk between stores - we found a Department Store, simply waited there, but quite interesting.    

Then back to the hotel after that.  We ate in the same restaurant in the hotel - Satsuki - I had a pizza and a beer ($25).
