TOKYO !

Konnichiwa !

We have officially reached the end of our Japanese Jamboree Journey, as of midnight, Unit 8 would have left Japan :(

But never fret, we have ended our adventure with an amazing 4 days in Japan's capital, Tokyo. Here's what we have done !

This is at the Earthquake centre, we got to experience a magnitude 7 earthquake.

In the evening we made our way across Tokyo to a huge fireworks display, despite the bridge in front of us, they still looked incredible.

On Sunday we went up the second tallest building in the world, the Tokyo Skytree. 

After Skytree we explored the local area, Asakusa, where we discovered a 1000 yen Kimono shop ....

We visited another Japanese temple in Asakusa and found some Buddha statues.

On Monday we had the chance to explore a different part of Tokyo before a UKC organised event 'Tokyo Live'. We went to the busiest crossing in the world, in Shibuya, and took an obligatory selfie. 

We then went to Tokyo live and finally got to watch some Sumo wrestling. 

One of the most interesting parts of the exhibition was the Tuna Dissection; three talented men chopping up a fresh Tuna to music. 

After Tokyo live we travelled across the city to Shinjuku, one of the best places for night life in Tokyo. We found loads of arcades, filled with business men, and had dinner at a tiny sushi bar. 

Today we visited the famous Tsukiji fish market, unfortunately we didn't see any of the renowned tuna selling, but we did wonder round the general market.

In the afternoon we tried to visit the Imperial Palace, but it was shut, so we headed off to a place called Harajuku. Harajuku was predominantly unusual fashion shops, but we spent a decent amount of time in the four floor 100 yen shop.

We've also had a laugh at the airport waiting for our flight to Doha, have a look here:

So, the last ever Jamboree quote of the day from Adam, 'We come from Bucks and we don't give two flips' 

That's it for now, we're off to Heathrow !
