Today is Johannes last full day in Japan, we went to ikkebukero to exchange my japan rail pass so that i could travel to Kyoto tomorrow. Guess what, we were completely lost in the train station . It is just t too massive and crowded with stream of human traffic every other second when there is a train/metro/subway arrival... One word to describe today's feeling - chaotic!!!
Crowds at the station
We left the crazy Ikkebukero station and opt for Sakuradamon - one of the gates of Tokyo imperial palace which we often talked about after watching a Japanese drama series. Here, everything is back to "normal" again with less people, a green pasture and space to breath...
Also at the Hibiya park, some open space to relax
Another typically Japanese culture - vending machine is everywhere...
Talk about Arts and Designs, here is the classic example at Tokyo international forum

Some nice display by a Japanese artist
It was too humid to walk around and so we cocooned into a bookstore nearby, perhaps the one with biggest English selection...Hiding away in a huge bookstore nearby to Tokyo station to avoid the crowds and find some stillness in reading/browsing wide selections of English books.

browsing an interesting huge book about Japanese history...
At the end, we did set our foot on Ginza, the edge of Ginza

And Johannes found a restaurant with his family name at Ginza but disappointed to know that it
offers Korean cuisine.
With this,it marks the end of our Tokyo stories....
