I went to Harajuku the other day. It was pretty cool. They are famous for their crepes so I had to try one. There were a lot of Americans there too. It seemed like they had a lot of black Americans selling clothes on the one shopping street. There were a lot of shops along the one main street. On the other side of the train station was a park with a shrine and some flower gardens and such. Harajuku is one of my favorite cities so far
I visited Ikebukuro the other day. So far, it is my favorite place to visit. I’ve been there probably 3 or 4 times already. The one building, Sunshine City, is like a mall with an aquarium and an observatory. The aquarium was pretty cool (although overpriced), they had a big stingray in the one display and someone in scuba gear came down and was feeding it when I came. Also attached to the side of Sunshine City is a Toyota display room. They had all the new models of their cars on display, as well as some cool racing arcade-like games. The one arcade was in a kind of roll cage and it would move pretty lifelike according to how you moved or hit things, then on your second try, it would act like you had their shock absorber system on or whatever it was (less bumpy).

Today I went to Tokyo Station to see the owner of a Japan travel website who said he would give it over to me, but he was not in his office. Since I was already in Tokyo Station though, I visited the Imperial Palace. It was pretty cool. It’s kinda weird to see a moat and castles in the middle of skyscrapers.
