We went to Waseda first, because I needed to take my result (alhamdulillah, I did ok.)
Next stop was Ginza, because Mak wanted to let my two aunts experience walking on where it used to be the most expensive place on earth. We stopped for tea at a Fujiya after I reassured Mak that no, it wouldn't costed 10,000 yen each. When Mak saw the bill, she even claimed that she wouldn't mind footing another bill...
Then, Asakusa - not so much for the shrine, but more for the Petaling street-feel bazaar experience for my aunts and brother. Mak chose not to melt in the crowd because she had been here a couple of times before.
Prayed Asar in Tokyo Mosque. I even waited for Maghrib, but asked the "mbah" group to walk ahead of me and waited for me at Yoyogi Uehara eki. If they had waited to pray Maghrib/Isyak there and then, chances were we would not be able to shop at Oriental Bazaar, in Harajuku.
As it happened, we were the last customers to exit Oriental Bazaar.
My brother then treated us to dinner at a nearby Tenya.
We did not visit Tokyo Tower, instead I took them to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, better known as Touchou. It was quite a long walk for the already exhausted "mbah"s, so I was shocked when I saw the main entrance was closed. Asked a guard on duty and he guided us to a different entrance for visitors who wish to go to the observatory areas. Mak tried to console my two aunts, telling them that it was akin to a KLCC observatory treat... My brother, needless to say, was thrilled with the view of Tokyo at night
And that concluded the longest/most tiring one day tour for the rombongan Cik Kiah
