Day 2 of Tokyo Trip 2016 2 hour drive to Mt. Fuji Below our hotel, there was the famous Japanese 'Family Mart', similar to our 7-Eleven chain stores. This was my first time seeing iTunes gift cards along with Android Play Store gift cards being sold as we do not have them in Malaysia. Family Mart sells all sorts of things, from necessities to food. Mt. Fuji hiding in the clouds. My first time encountering snow. Such a beautiful sight. Mini snowball made by yours truly Lovely countryside views Water wheel Spring water pool Spring water pool Nice crispy fish! Cheap and tasty. Nice to eat in the freezing weather.

Entrance to the Asakusa Temple Many other tourists were here too! Sakura slowly blooming bit by bit I cannot recall what was this, but it was very delicious! Simple & quick lunch! Intelligent parking machine. In Japan, people tend to be more independent but highly dependent on machines. A mosque (Asakusa Mosque) in the middle of the city centre. Located on a very quiet street. Street in Ameyoko Ueno. Where live seafood, vegetables and fruits are sold along the streets. In the street of Akihabara. Where all the animes are located.

Sunshine City is a renowned shopping complex, rath
