Once we got off the subway, we needed a little direction but a few blocks later, we were overwhelmed. So much colors...
I think we spent a lot of time in this blue building. There were 7 floors and each floor concentrated on a certain item. For example, the 2nd floor was all cameras and the 6th floor was video games. And there are several places like this, practically every block had this kind of store!
Believe it or not, we searched for some nail clippers. Who knew that Japanese nail clippers are so freakin awesome? A co-worker of Hector's requested nail clippers made in Japan (not China). Simple. right? Um, there are many, many choices in size and technology. We bought 2 and kept one for ourselves.
Okay, once you use this Japanese nail clipper you'll wonder how you ever survived without one. I had nail clippers that could barely clip thru my regular nail so what about people with thicker nails. The action on these clippers are so smooth that it doesn't even make that audible clipping sound. Now I kind of wish that we bought more for gifts. Sounds really lame, but if I get more and you happen to get it as a gift, you'll be amazed. AMAZED! You'll have to wait another 9 years before I go back....
Hector and I tried some takoyaki too. It was really good but I think 6 was too much for us. We ate 2 each then I dug the octopus out of the rest. It just had a lot of batter so that added to it.
Even the side streets are packed full of shops which is cool if you want to avoid the crush of people/cars on the main street.
Japan is super safe and we encouraged the kids to explore a bit although I think they found Tokyo a bit intimidating but they managed. :)
