Japan (Mar 2013): Day 8 Kawagoe + Omiya + Meguro + View of Tokyo Tower (Part 3)

Day 8: Part 1 / Part 2

Upon returning back to Tokyo, I headed for Fudo-mae station. Because there's a nice little stretch of road with sakura trees near the station.

It's just a short walk to Meguro river from Fudo-mae station, so I walked along the river towards Meguro station. It took me about 30mins to stroll from Fudo-mae to Meguro station.

From Meguro station, i took a short train ride to Hamamatsucho station. 
The World Trade Center building is located next to Hamamatsucho station, and there's a nice observatory at that building. Admission fees is 620yen, but since I printed a coupon from http://www.wtcbldg.co.jp/wtcb/facility/seaside/pdf/seaside_en.pdf, so I managed to get a special rate of 500yen.


Vending machines at the observatory. There are also toilets at the observatory as well.

I spent about 2hrs at this Observatory reading my e-book while waiting for sunset.

After leaving the World Trade Center, I went to Ueno in search for some dinner.


Found a yakiniku restaurant at Ueno.




Bought a potato croquette back to hotel room. 100yen.
