Two full days in Kyoto wasn’t enough time to explore what the city has to offer.

But I had more sights to see, places to visit and food to eat — and that meant heading to Tokyo for three nights.

On the agenda: touring Tsukiji Fish Market, walking around Akihabara, eating at a specialty unagi shop, and eating whatever I wanted in the food courts at the upscale department stores in Ginza.

The rain wasn’t going to stop me — though, I’ll admit, I wasn’t looking forward to schlepping my luggage in a downpour.

Turns out, it really wasn’t that bad. And for the first time, I might actually be full.

Here’s what my first night in Tokyo looked like:

Goodbye, Kyoto

On my last day in Kyoto, I decided to wander the streets alone. There are all these side alleys I was eager to explore. Little shops, dark bars, quaint cafes, even dog salons — all hidden from the heavy traffic on the main avenues.
