Today we leave our hotel in Hiroshima, which has been our home for the last 7 days, and say hello again to Tokyo. We are making our way back home. Tomorrow we catch our flight back to the states. Today was spent mostly on trains traveling from Hiroshima to Tokyo. After we got off the train and we were trying to find our hotel we ended up on a little street just one street over from our hotel. It looks a little beaten up and a little sketchy but it had a ton of little restaurants. We ended up finding an indian restaurant. We made note and decided that that is where we wanted to eat dinner tonight. We found our hotel and then we were off on another train headed for another shrine. We traveled to Meiji Shrine. It was loaded with tourist but we were able to find a path that wasn’t so crowded and had these really big trees along the whole path. It was a lot more peaceful than walking the more crowded path.
Our friend Yuma told us to really get a feel of how Tokyo is we should go to a main street that the young kids like to hang out. The name is Takeshita. We got there and the street was packed! So many people. We went down and looked at some shops. It’s interesting because some of the kids go there and dress up. There were some different outfits there for sure. Once we were done on that street we headed back towards our hotel and found that Indian restaurant. I thought it was fitting that since we started our adventure in Salt Lake City with Indian food that we should end it too with Indian food. This little restaurant was really good. The curries we had were super yummy. They’re not very spicy because the Japanese locals don’t care for too much spice. I watched as the couple next to us took a bite and started sweating. It worried me until I took a bite of ours and it wasn’t spicy at all.
Not sure I’ll get to blog tomorrow since we will be traveling for so long. This has been a wonderful adventure for both Corey and I. We have enjoyed the Japanese culture here. We have made many amazing memories. Despite enjoying our vacation we are ready to get home. We miss our kids and Corey especially misses his pillow.
