Day 12 In Japan : Last Minute Shopping Spree

Our day 12 in Japan was our last day to do any last minute sightseeing or shopping before our flight back to Malaysia the day after. I don't know why, but on this trip, we somehow had no time to do and visit the places we always head to during our vacation like in previous years. 

Anyhoo, we were back in Tokyo, and the day was spent going to places to buy toys for Raimie, and souvenirs for us to bring back home.

We started our day by walking around Asakusa.
See the tower under construction in the background? That's Tokyo Sky Tree. Even now, the Sky Ttree is already the tallest building, standing at 497m. (Tokyo Tower is 333m). The tower's full height will be 634m, making the tower one of the world's tallest.
Kappabashi (Kitchen Town) is a must for us. Not only for kitchenware, we can find cheap food items and souvenirs here too. Note to visitors - the shops here close early so if you are planning to visit Kappabashi, make sure you come on weekdays, and before 5.00pm for a good experience. Otherwise, many of the shops here would be closed!

Our bounty for the day. As you can see, no designer stuff bought. I'm not into obscenely expensive designer good anyway. I rather save my money for another trip to Japan. LOL
