Tokyo: Day 1 & 2 Recap

We have spent two full days in Tokyo so far and I absolutely love it. There are so many sights to see there is absolutely no way we will be able to see it all during our five day trip. So far we been to Harajuku, Shibuya, Roppongi, and Ebisu. All these different areas really show case how diverse this city is. The people have been super friendly and helpful. If they see us looking at our maps they will come up to us and ask if they can help us. I'm proud of my husband and I in just two days I feel like we've really gotten the subway and train routes down which is great since we need them to go basically every where. Most of our rides are about 280 yen to 400 yen for the both of us to get where we are trying to go which is super inexpensive. With the current yen rate we are only paying $2 to $3.50 per ride.

We've been eating lunch out and town and usually are back around the hotel by dinner. We have eaten at a popular burrito place called Frijoles in Ebisu, and we've also ate at Wolfgang Puck in Harajuku. Wolfgang Puck sells burgers, steaks, and pastas.

My favorite experience so far was at the Tokyo City View in Ebisu. Standing 885 feet above the city was a wild experience. I'm so thankful that we've been able to do some traveling and see what Tokyo has to offer before we have our son. It's so amazing to me that there are just so many parts of the world we haven't seen that are just waiting to be explored. This trip so far has been such an eye opener and I cant  wait to see what the remainder of it holds. Check out our pictures below at some of the spots mentioned above.
