Day 15 Rain! Capsule Hotel / Kit Kat store

At the Kappashi ( kitchen street in Asakusa)
Rainy Saturday Cole, Zurn sensei and Sensei took a walk around Asakusa Area. 
Asakusa (浅草) is the center of Tokyo's Shitamachi (literally "low city"), one of Tokyo's districts, where an atmosphere of the Tokyo of past decades survives.
At  Asakusa sensoji-temple
The breakfast is at Mos burger fast-food restaurant. Sensei got Rice burger with Shrimp Tempura (deep fried)



We went to the Kit Kat Store. 
Nestlé has opened the world's first Kit-Kat boutique in Tokyo, where you can choose from wonderfully experimental flavours like Purple Potato, Cinnamon Cookie, European Cheese, Bean Cake and Wasabi, as well as three special varieties created by Japanese chocolatier Yasumasa Takagi: Sublime Bitter, Special Sakura Green Tea and Special Chilli. So enthusiastic was the crowd on the store's January 2014 opening day that all 500 bars available sold out in under two hours.



We stayed at the Capsule Hotel in Asakusa. Everyone got a "cubicle" with a folding door that is tall enough to sit up in, but it does have its own tiny TV! One night's stay is about $28 per person, which is super-cheap for Tokyo. Somehow we all got sleep.


Our free time in Akihabara had rain. The first big rain of the trip, but we didn't need to walk a lot today.
