Waking up as early as possible, we got ourselves prepared and left the apartment by 9 am. From there, we headed straight for the Shin-Osaka station for our Shinkansen.
When we arrive at Shin-Osaka, there was still time. Thus we decided to go grab some breakfast at a cafe in the station itself.
The food was really good. I like the toast especially, not burnt and still crunchy. The tea which I ordered in my opinion was the best of the meal. The tea came in a small pot as shown in the picture above (above the plate). After waiting for 3 minutes as said by the waiter, we can then pour the tea into the cup and drink. Although the tea gets more and more bitter as we drank to the bottom, it gets more and more satisfying, the fragrance of tea with no sugar and no milk is the best for me.
After which, we were really full. Although we still need to have a bit of lunch, I decided to just go into a Bellmart on the platform itself to get myself a small bento, a bento with Karaage and rice. It was cold but it is still really good.
I used my luggage as the table as it was really crowded, there wasn't space for me at the top area. Also, it was too heavy for me to carry it up, thus I just left it at my seat.
We arrived at Tokyo at 2:40 pm. We headed straight for the Prime Pod to check in. Although only at 4 pm then you can enter the Pod, we were allowed to check in first, since it was already almost 4 pm.
After we settled down our luggage and baggage, one group set out for their own plans. I actually didn't know they went Ikebukuro until they had left, as I thought we were supposed to go Shibuya together. Thus it was already late and the remaining of us decided to just walk around Ginza and find something to eat.
I actually wanted to try the burnt miso ramen, but after walking for about half hour we were not able to locate the shop. Thus we walked back to Yurakucho station. There we saw a shop serving rice with curry. We ate there for our dinner. It was really good, much better than what I expected, and also really filling. It was really good that I ate 1 and 1/2 portion (shared with my friends).
On the way back, we saw some cherry blossom display just outside a mall. However, as I was on the move, I never really got a good shot. This image was the best and I was never able to locate this place again to take a better picture. A bit of a regret but better than nothing.
We headed back to rest for the day after this.
