Sakura Illumination at Ueno Park |
We arrived in Tokyo from Nagoya in the evening. This trip, we stayed in a serviced apartment in Tsukiji area. It was nice because itās affordable and close to the metro station, but unfortunately the access to the metro station doesnāt allow for stroller. At least we didnāt find any access while we were there. Weāve had our ekiben dinner on the shinkansen ride, so when we arrived in the serviced apartment we didnāt do anything else.
The following morning, DH and I got up early and we explored Tsukiji Market. Somehow we donāt find it too interesting anymore, and things have become a lot more expensive than it used to be. We ended up having coffee (it was bad) and DH went for a sushi breakfast while I went back to the apartment instead.
When Oma and Opa were ready to go, we went out to look for coffee. We quicky stop at a park near the apartment to take a picture by a sakura tree there. The famous coffee shops near the hotels all had really long lineups. Rather silly, Iād say, as the lineup is usually caused by a few posts on Instagram and it doesnāt really guarantee the taste. Anyway we had to look around a bit further for a shop with a spot.
When we found a place, I saw that there was one of the famous Tsujihan not too far away from there and Google said it was unusually empty. I took my chance, left Oma and Opa at the cafe, and went to Tsujihan all by myself. When I got there there was already a line that didnāt look too bad, so I took my spot. In the end, that line became a 2-hour wait for me and I totally felt like it was a waste of my time! The food at Tsujihan was pretty good, but definitely not worth the wait. Actually I canāt think of any food that would be worth a 2-hour wait in line LOL.

After this we got together again and relaxed at a mall in Ginza. It was a bit drizzly outside. Then it was almost dinner time. Opa, DH, and I went to Gyukatsu Motomura in Coredo Motomachi (not too far and least queue). It didnāt taste as good as I had remembered it. Either my taste has changed or this branch is not so good, Iām not sure.
