Day 15 & 16 Back to Tokyo, Capsule Hotel, Asakusa, Ueno, Cat Cafe

We came back from Hiroshima on the bullet train to Tokyo, it took about 5 hours. We checked in our big luggage at the hotel. 

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.

Hannah:

Last night we spent the night at a capsule hotel [Khaosan Samurai Capsule Hotel]. Each person gets their own capsule that is basically just a bed. It's really small, dark and quiet, but the bed is actually quite comfortable. It was one of the best mattresses I've slept on this entire trip.

We met everyone at Mister Donut for breakfast. After the big gate at Asakusa, we went to Ueno which is an outdoor shopping street [America-cho]. There were a lot of stores with name brand athletic clothing, but still in the street shop style. I bought some flavored KitKats while I was there. 

From there Diane, Zach and I went to Shinjuku to go to a cat cafe. There were a lot of cats, we got to feed them and pet them and just generally be around a lot of cats.  Afterwards we went to an Udon shop and had some really good udon noodles. Mine had udon green onions and a egg with a very runny yoke. It was delicious!

[We met Sharla in Akihabara, she made some videos of Japan that we shared in our emails!]
