Back to Tokyo




This morning we came back to Tokyo on the shinkansen from Kyoto. Our next hotel is in Ginza (Knightsbridge-esque). The hotel is very art deco and has a very French theme (something the Japanese seem to love).
Ginza is full of expensive shops. Above is Mikimoto - their window display suggested buying pearls for mothers day (sorry Lynda and Viv - not going to happen!). We also went into Chanel where Colette wanted to buy everything and then a 7 storey stationery shop and a mad 6 storey toy shop.
We'll be heading out to find somewhere to eat shortly and hopefully somewhere to watch the football (however Tottenham v Chelsea kicks off here at 2:30 am)

  1. I don't need anymore Mikimoto pearls Tim, I've got enough. But I bet Colette wouldn't mind a string from you. What is the quality of the stationery like, thats always nice to treat yourselves to. You know how Colette loves anything to do with paper!
