Today I took everything easy, because I didn't get much sleep. I repacked all my stuff a bit in my suitcase because I had some stuff that I bought that had to fit in.
First I went to Roppongi Hills with the big Mori Tower, that also has a small shopping & dining mall at the bottom. Although these were mostly on the expensive side. After that I took a walk to Tokyo Tower, you can't miss it so it was easy to find. Went to the first observatory at 150m. As some know, I'm not very fond of heights, so I was a bit shaky at the beginning, but that started to get better after a while. Althought I could have felt the moving direction of the earth at this height, but that was probably my imagination. After having eaten something small, I went back down, and visited the Zozoji shrine, which is right next to the Tokyo Tower. Then I took a long walk to Shimbashi station, where I took the Yurikamome line to Odaiba. Odaiba is a piece of reclaimed land in the Tokyo bay, which you can reach via the rainbow bridge. This bridge has a very distinct feature, that it has a circular onramp. The monorail also goes on this circle and over the bridge to Odaiba. Odaiba was meant to be very futuristic looking. It has a big exposition center, some hotels, Panasonic building, Toyota showroom (with new, old & concept cars), a big shopping & gaming hall, and the Fuji TV Building. Here I saw an HMV store, so I went to look again if they had the new concert dvd from Ayumi already, and they did. Which is a day early ;p.
After a lot of walking on Odaiba I went back to Shibuya here in bagus internet cafe.
