Harajuku, Omotesando, Azabu, and Daiba

Met up with Steve and Yu-Chih at the hotel and then headed out to Harajuku in hopes of seeing the Harajuku girls, since they usually gather on the bridge near the station on Sundays. Instead there was a big festival, so none of those girls were there. We walked around there and checked out Meji Jingu. From there we walked around Omotesando and hit up Omotesando Hills and Uniqlo UT. We still had some time after that so we went back to Tamachi and walked to Azabu, for the festival there, but we were there a little early so nothing was really set up yet.

For lunch we headed to Azabu Ramen in Azabu and then back to the hotel where we got out bags and headed to Grove Tower to move into the guest room. We met up with Takehito and he showed us around the building a bit and then we headed to Daiba. We were a little bit limited on time, so we did as much as possible before we met up with the host parents and went to the Onsen. We did the sand bath and then went into the Onsen and of course they both loved it. We ate dinner in the Onsen and then headed back to the guest room. Steve and I played Contra 4 for a while and then I realized that I missed the last train so I just slept there for the night.
