Day trip to Nikko
... popular destination). I spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the many spectacular shrines and temples in the area.
After returning to Tokyo in the late afternoon I spent the evening exploring Akihabara, Tokyo's "electric town". It's an area of Tokyo that is popular for buying anime, computer games, digital cameras and all manner of inexpensive computer and electrical equipment.
