Day 15 Back to Tokyo, Ghibli, Asakusa

Today we took the bullet train back to Tokyo from Hiroshima. 



It was cloudy but we could see Mt. Fuji briefly as the Shinkansen zipped along.

When we got to Tokyo we put our big luggage into coin lockers and headed to the Studio Ghibli Museum. Ghibli makes very popular animated movies like TotoroSpirited AwayPonyo, and many others. The museum was amazing.





Afterwards we dropped our small backpacks at the hotel we are staying at. Then we visited Asakusa area, which has a gate with a huge paper lantern!

We asked a passer-by to take our group picture, they took 6 photos! 

We could see the Tokyo Skytree and took some great photos.

Then we went to dinner at a Japanese-style Izakaya restaurant. It was great and lots of food to share!

Then we did Karaoke and had a lot of fun when everyone joined in.
