We took the 8:56 AM train from Kyoto and arrived at Tokyo at 11:40AM. After checking into our hotel (Toyoko Inn Nihon-bashi Hamacho), we went to explore the area around our hotel. The area is relatively quiet more so as a lot of folks left Tokyo to travel back to their hometown to celebrate the new year.
We strolled to the nearby Hamacho Park, also called Meijiza-mae
Pets in Japan are really well treated :)

Sun setting soon
A pair of father and son watching intently at the cooking of Tamagoyaki 卵焼き which btw is fully sold out for the new year. They are rushing to fulfill the backlog. Sad that we could not try it. It’s not difficult to see that this shop, Toritada is very popular with the locals. Judging by the photos and signatures hung on the wall, this must be quite a famous shop :)
As it is approaching new year, we see many folks doing last minute shopping for the celebration. This is just one of the many queues along the Amazakeyokocho street and Ningyocho-dori. I like this place. It has a good, lively vibe to it. :)
Large mural on the wall
Perfect weather for a relaxing stroll :)
