Akita to Tokyo

After taking the Sinkensen train from Akita to Tokyo, that took a little under 4 hours, I arrived in Tokyo. The first thing I did was went to the accommodation that I booked to stay in, in Tokyo. It was called the
capsule hotel..

After checking in about 5 in the evening, I walked around the area in Tokyo called Akihabara which is famous for its electronic appliances and devices throughout the world.

After spending a evening there, I transfer to my next hotel which was suppose to be a traditional Japanese hotel/house but it ended up not being the case. I was a little disappointed. However on a positive note, I met a South Korea girl and we went around the city for two days together. It was great. We went to the famous Kabuzi-za theatre and saw a show, then went to Nissan car show and saw they new line of cars, went to the Sony Building, and went to Tokyo Tower.

At the Kabuzi-za theatre we saw the following show - here is the details

NA MO TAKASHI HOMARE NO ISHIKIRI (Stone-cutting Kajiwara)
The Taira general Kajiwara (Tomijuro) is asked to test the sharpness of a sword by slicing two live human beings in half. He deliberately makes the sword fail the test to keep the sword, a priceless heirloom belonging to the enemy Genji clan, from falling into the hands of his Taira clan. A miracle convinced Kajiwara to change sides. Kajiwara finally demonstrates the true power of the sword by cutting a large stone basin in two. Tomijuro'son Takanosuke plays a retainer Takahei which is an especially added role for this month's performance.

The next day we went out to Tokyo Bay and then spend the evening at Tokyo Bay and went through several buildings based on future cars and went to the harbour front at night.
