Our flight back home isn’t until late in the evening. We took the opportunity to have a bit of a look around the Tokyo Skytree. There’s a little Christmas market there where Jingle Bells plays on an endless loop and you can get “typically German” Christmas market stuff like beer, hot dogs and (cold) chips for high prices. The mulled wine was really tasty, though!
After that, we paid a visit to the Sumida Aquarium. It was a lovely place where you could chill out to some quiet music and watch the fish, penguins and jellyfish.
It’s with a heavy heart that we’re starting our journey back now. This was our fifth visit to the Land of the Rising Sun, and once again we’ve experienced great things, seen interesting places and met friendly, open-minded and curious people. It definitely won’t have been our last trip to Japan.
