City of Trams

 I name Toyama as a "City of Trams", given the chance I can operate the old trolleys, we took it to Iwasehama (Toyama Bay).

To Takayama (Day1)

 

To Takayama, we are an early risers, so it's not difficult to start early. We took the 8:43 HIDA JR to Takayama (around 11:00 AM) It's a diesel engine that will take us there. We also explore old town Takayama, but it's too crowded. We will come back again tomorrow.

Starbucks Reserve Roastery - Tokyo

 

To get here from Hamamatsucho, it requires Yamanote line to Ebisu Station then Metro for one short stop, then we still have to walk about 800 meters. This is the second Reserve Roastery, the first one being in Seattle, Washington.

Tokyo Station

 

I have to remember that we have to go to the east side to see the building of Tokyo Station, it turned out that there is a name to go to the east side - MARUNOUCHI, we spent sometimes in Tokyo Station trying to get to the east side, finally we were able to do that and then we hunt for the "best" Ramen place, it turned out that ramen could be complex in taste and it could also as simple as possible.

Shibuya Crossing

 
This was the second time we came here, Hachiko becomes the symbol of faithfulness and a meeting place. Since we came here in the afternoon, Shibuya Crossing became alive.

Toyama Bay

 

We took the tram all the way to Iwasehama (Toyama Bay), we watched a lot of people go fishing right of the pier, one person caught a lot of fish already, enough for dinner that night. This is also the first for us to see the ocean in Japan trips.
