Erica & Todd go to Japan! Day 10: Tokyo

The beds at the Intercontinental are more comfy than at the ryoken, but that's not saying much. Erica got this place really cheap on priceline, so it's ok.

Went to Akasuka and visited some shrines. Ate some great street snacks.

In the afternoon, went to Akihabara to see if we could find an awesomely small computer for Erica, but no luck. Most stores only seemed to sell Sony. And, it turns out that prices were better in Shinjuku by around 1000 yen. So, while it was interesting to walk around a bit, Akihabara was a bust. There were a few neat stores, like one that sold all types of cables and would cut custom lengths of whatever you want. Went back to the hotel to chill, then went to Ropppngi Hills area for dinner. Ate at a great soba / udon place. Walked through the Hyatt there, which was amazing. While it's only a 4 star or something, it makes the intercontinental look like a dump. Of course, in some respects, the Chisun Grand did as well.
