Manga cafe
I came across a small manga cafe when I was taking a walk around my hotel. As you know, Japan is known as a manga paradise! There are a number of manga cafes in Japan, where you can read as many comics as you like, it's cheap, around several hundred yen an hour.

The cafe had lots of comics in English translation. I spent 3 hours reading several comics there. It was very interesting to compare Japanese comics translated in English.

OK GIFT SHOP
Kyosen Ohashi, who was a famous television talk-show host in Japan, runs OK GIFT SHOP. It has many branchs in major cities in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. There are many Japanese staff and you can shop easily.

Segway, the electric scooter with two wheels
I'd never seen someone riding on the Segway before. I took a picture of a running Segway without thinking about it!

Japanese restaurant, ARIAKE
It had an expensive-looking, exclusive restaurant so I went out for lunch. I had chirashi sushi, vinegared rice with several kinds of sliced raw fish, with vegetables arranged on top. It was the 14th time to have a Japanese dish on my trip!
