Maranouchi








We got to Tokyo early morning and since we can't check in, we got off the Narita Express at Tokyo Station and walked around the Imperial Palace and Maranouchi.
Maranouchi is a nice area to spend a couple of hours since it isn't as crowded as a lot of other places in Tokyo, and it is especially nicer if you have a lot of serious money to burn. Plenty of high end stores in this neighbourhood. Of course, we just window shopped. Didn't even dare bring our scruffy selves into the shops there. The Hermes store there, had a lot of Birkins on display. Wah lau. I think if you buy enough stuff from them, you do not even have to join the dunno how many years waiting list for that bag, they may just sell one to you!
The surrounds of the Imperial Palace is really nice, not too crowded, but after a night flight we were too tired to walk all the way to the gardens. We did say we would come back again during the trip, but that never did happened.
