Last day before our departure, I’m really gana miss this place.
Day 5 was a cultural tour. 
↑ So it WAS due to jet lag..on day 5, we begun to sleep in and leave late. Nevertheless, still excited.
The enormous front gate! So genuine, so epic. 
↑The enormous lantern says 雷門
… and this is what’s right underneath it.
This is also a must-go for whoever visiting Japan. 
↑Between the gate and the temple, there’s a long strip of gift shops for souvenirs. From the dialogs, I’d say 50% of them were tourists. like us.
Cool things like these would drill a hole in your wallet. Good thing my wallet was already empty. 
I’m not a big fan of masks, they freak me out at night. But eventually, I gave in and bought a Japanese patterned camera strap. No picture of it, yet.
Gate 2. 
Refreshment. Doing it old school. 
The grand temple. 
Harajuku, Shibuya, or Shinjuku are cool places of Japan, but I saw the resemblance to other cities of Asia. Asakusa, however, marinates us in Japan’s authenticity. I’m sure there are many other landmarks like this in Japan, especially outside of Tokyo, but with limited time, this was it for us.
Aside from the camera snapping tourists, every once in a while, you’d see..
↑Ladies with Kimono. Cody likey, eh?
I obviously didn’t get the memo. You were suppose to tie your “sign”, which you draw the destined one from a can, ONLY when it’s bad fortune. There’s “luck” written all over mine (actually, it says “the slightest luck”, but still..dyam.)
“FTF” was our strategy when we don’t know what’s going on – Following the Foreigners.
1.)Bath ourselves in the incense smoke seemed to be a good way to go. 
2.)Wash our hands and rinse our mouth with the blessed water. 
Recently, the Japan Post Office has been putting limited locational post cards! 
They have one of every district and one for the distinctive feature of the district. Pretty freakin’ awesome, no?
Back to train rides:
Ginza’s like the..South Coast of LA, 5th avenue of Manhattan. or something along that line. 
Quite a few vintage camera shops along the side. 
↑ about $200 bucks.
A couple of Nissan’s must-go spots were closed, Joey was devastated, this is what we left with. Still very nice, but rather small. 
The gallery features different rides all the time. The day we went, they were showcasing their new 0 emission automobiles and concepts. 
Be hold, the Nissan Leaf. 
Joey was fueled, with major help from one of the Nissan staffs, we got the info that there’s another gallery, but ALOT bigger, in the other district. So, off we went..
↑ FLUENT.
There goes another train ride. 
Never planned to come here; a spontaneous stop: 
Hey, they got their own post cards, too. Under Kanagawa. 
That’s right. 
After an hour of train ride, we found that the gallery’s actually closed for renovation. Joey almost teared. 
Through glass window, we saw the R35 Spec V with a super dope paint job.
↑ Joey didn’t stop there, with Cody’s help, Joey was actually able to get his glanced of that beauty up close and personal.
Only in Japan. 
While we were at Yokohama, Jim told us about Japan’s Chinatown.
Yet another helpful encounter with their local Info booth. 
Shortly, we were on our way to check out what Chinatown’s like in Japan. 
Like WHOAAAA!
Why can’t the Chinatown from SF pull something like this?!
With restaurants along the sides of the street, we picked this place randomly to settle our last dinner in Japan. The storefront was epic. so was the all you can eat for 2000 yen banner. 
There were 2 floors, we were the only table on the 2nd floor. Felt like as if we bought the place. 
It was a buffet with dishes like following: 
↑ Sorry for the lack of pictures, we were too stuffing ourselves.
Right next to the restaurant, there were a couple of arcades. 
That was a wrap. 
Good fun.
