Nihom - Tokyo City and the Tokyo Dome

We spent two days in Tokyo, and two days getting to Mt. Fuji, hiking it, then coming back to Tokyo.  It was a lot of fun to be in Japan, but Aaron left pretty much convinced he never wanted to go back to Tokyo.  So I'm glad we went at least this one time :)

The world's busiest fish market was closed the day we went....so we took a picture and called it a day.

Yakitori under the train tracks.

Lonely Planet Tokyo told us that there were a lot of yakitori (meat grilled on a stick, like a kabob) stalls under this one train station - so we went there hoping to find a lot of places to choose from....after an hour or so of walking, we finally stumbled upon one.  Lonely Planet also told us that yakitori was cheap.  Double lies.  It was delicious when we finally ate it, a few hours after normal lunch.

Ask this guy what he thinks of Tokyo and he'll tell you hot.
And confusing.  And that we're never going again.

A must see in Tokyo:  Baseball in the Tokyo Dome

In our seats ready for the game.  

In Japan, they love baseball.  When you go to a baseball game, it's like going to a college sporting event in the states.  Each baseball team has it's own cheering section, complete with a band.  When their team is up to bat, the band plays, and the crowd cheers the whole time.  It went crazy in the dome when someone hit a home run for the home team.  This was definitely one of my favorite things we did and the tickets were only $10!  Cheap date.

Take me out the ball game, take me out the crowd,
Buy me some peanuts and sushi?
