Japan: Tokyo Take 2 (Mega Post)

So like I mentioned in a previous post, Will LOVED Japan when we went 8 years ago.  He has been begging to come back ever since.  However, while I loved Japan too, I always wanted to go somewhere new before making a return trip.  Well, Will's dreams finally came true and while Kyoto and Osaka were new cities, we have actually been to Tokyo before.  Needless to say though, Will found plenty of new and fun experiences for us.  Our days were so full that I couldn't even attempt to write recaps when we got back to our hotel each day (the same hotel we stayed on during our honeymoon!).  Here is an overall recap of our most notable Tokyo adventures.  I'm sure that Will will quickly point out that I didn't mention every neighborhood or store that we went to, but this was the big stuff.  The stuff that made it into my iPhone photos and therefore, in my current memory.

First, let's take a moment to applaud William Choi for his detailed trip planning.  I mean, look at that custom Google map with all pins carefully picked by Will! Now you can see how we were so busy.

Back to the highlight reel...
We had the most amazing sushi with the Omakase menu at Yasuda.  Best sushi of my life. SO good.




We went to Odaiba where we saw the "Gundam Unicorn" (nerd alert!) that was a 1:1 scale.  

Then we stopped into the Toyota City Showcase where we got to try safe driving simulations and some kind of future segway wannabe.



We also went to the teamLab Borderless exhibit at the Mori Building Digital Art Museum.  It was super cool and we were lucky to be in town during the exhibit.
