So, as many as you know, my mom arrived from Lviv on April 27th. She stayed with us in Misawa for two weeks, and then on May 11th, she and I headed down to Tokyo—all by ourselves.
Our Shinkansen took us to Tokyo in a little over three hours. My mom was amazed at how comfortable and clean the train was, how quiet it was in the car, and how polite the train attendant was. Compare that to trains in Ukraine….
We got to the New Sanno and happily received our “black catted” luggage (it is rather reasonable to mail suitcases from Misawa to Tokyo so that you don’t have to bother with them on the train). After that we spend the whole afternoon and evening in Shibuya. Shibuya is a shopping district. A casual one. That means you can find places like Zara and H&M. Still, that doesn’t mean I could buy anything because prices were not in my “sale” range. My mom on the other hand, was able to find a swimsuit! Now she can tell everyone she bought her swimsuit in Tokyo.
Shibuya is also famous for its “busiest intersection in the world”. It was very rainy that night, but it didn’t stop us from exploring around.
And this is just for fun. I saw this walking down one of the smaller streets by Ebisu. Construction workers took off their shoes before entering the store they were working at. I like that:)
