After taking a walk around the food area we caught the automatic train back to Shimbashi and headed out to find a bar. There were a lot of places in Shimbashi but not that many that were bar style. Even so we found a quiet bar where were were the only customers and sat down for a drink and some nuts. Unfortunately we both realised that time was limited thanks to the train system so we didn't stay there long and headed back. When I took a walk around Shimbashi I didn't find that many tourist places. In fact Shimbashi isn't a name that was familiar to me when thinking about Japan. And people I'd met never said anything about Shimbashi as a place to visit. So I think Shimbashi is really another one of those stopping off places to get to Odaiba. I saw general stores and some interesting cafes but they were all catering for the train station crowd. Outside that area there really isn't much else, unless they were hiding! I took the train back to Harajuku and the long walk home. I did walk about the Olympic park a bit but everything was closed so I put my stuff together then went to bed. Next morning I was leaving (fantastic!) and moving to Iidabashi to the Tokyo Youth Hostel. Apparently it has great views from the room. Pity about the curfew though. |
