2014/05/26 Visiting Japan Day 22: Zojo-ji and Tokyo Tower
π 2014-05-26 01:01 in Japan, Japan2014, Ntrips, Trips

And finally we got to our last day in Japan. Jennifer thought she would enjoy the amenities of our hotel :)


I chose to go back to Tokyo Tower since I had gone in 1997, and figured I would see Zojo-ji, a big quiet temple just next to it, wihch happened to also be featured in X-Men's The Wolverine, much of which happens in Japan. It's a great temple, both in size and appearance:










Next, I went to Tokyo tower, just because. It's not a first attraction (obviously, the Tokyo Skytree has stole the thunder), but if you're by Zojo-ji, why not? :)

At the base of Tokyo Tower, there is a small aquarium. It's nothing to write home about, but I figured I'd check it out anyway. It actually had some interesting fish I hadn't seen before, as well as weird nosed turtles :)

After this, I went back to our room and we walked to the Google Office for lunch with friends and a quick tour.

And after that it was time for a bus back to Narita to fly home. A few shots from that bus:
