For a long time a want to visit Tokyo and I really wanna see the insight of Tokyo. Thank for Hajime, he took us to a lot of places that only known by local Japanese.
We ate famous Sashime in the fish market in Tsukiji only available in the morning to noon. It was really fresh and delicious. We also went to Ginza to shop at mini stores with unique style things. In the evening, we went to Shibuya for Okinawa style meal. It was really special. We ate special seed weed, a special kind of pork and warm sake. After dinner, We went to famous Tokyo University, it is really beautiful. Hajime told us lots of story about this Campus such as why they don't have dorm here ( In 1960s', there was a protest in the dorm and one man died).
I really appreciated Hajime for taking us to so many special places that I wouldn't go by myself. This is a great experience to travel and understand Tokyo this way. Finally , thank for this great guild service. Next time I hope someone will come my country. I will show you the best of Taiwan.

Hello tkwan,
Nice to meet you here.
Mini shop in Ginza is a game models store, not a clothes store.
When we're in Shibuya, I told zigosis that Tokyo university is near here, he said he was very interested. So we went there.
after this trip with zigosis, I think universities or schools are perfect places to visit for travelers. There are academic culture, inhabitants' experiences of growing up, and of course, lots of histories.....

wow,,,
Hajime, you did aa unbelievable job!
Within a day, that lots of places...cool.
anyway,
What kind of mini stores in Ginza did you go Ryan?
Were they nice? I live near Tokyo but never have known
such nice mini shops in Ginza, for me Ginza looks expensive
place to shop.l
Hajime, just from my curiosity,
why did you take them to Tokyo University?
I felt it's a kind of unique place to pick.
What was your purpose of selecting the place?

Zigosis, we are arriving at Narita airport on Monday 09 June. Is there a hotel near a Japan Rail station where we can dump our lugguage then go a short distance to the fish market in Tsukiji you described. Sounds fun!
