It's time to say goodbye to Kyoto and make our way back to Tokyo. It was very early in the morning, we reserved the 833am Hikari train to Tokyo. We were supposed to be able to see Mount Fuji from the train headed to Tokyo, but it was a full train and we could not get the good seats to view it.
Anyway, we will be heading to Shinagawa in Tokyo, where we booked a house with airbnb.

Tokyo
We arrived in Shinagawa and headed to the house which we booked from Airbnb. It is in sort of a weird corner where the house was located, in between the back lanes among the restaurants. While we were at the entrance, trying to get into the house, someone actually walked past and ask us, "Is that a shop?" Even though in a funny corner, we found the house actually very clean and quite comfy.
Anyway, after dropping our luggage, we had a quick lunch at the nearby Sukiya.

| The food is good..and tastes similar to Yoshinoya |
First stop in Tokyo is shopping street at Ueno, called Ameya-yokocho. It is a shopping street along the train tracks in between Ueno and Okachimachi, which sells a wide variety of goods from souvenirs, dried seafood to clothes, bags and track shoes.

Kameido Tenshin 亀戸天神社 (Wisteria)
Next stop in Tokyo is Kinshicho station. We need to get to Kameido Tenshin shrine, where we can view beautiful Wisteria, which blooms in end-April of every year. Kinshicho is quite near the Asakusa region, so we can view the Skytree from here. The shrine is actually situated in between Kinshicho and Kameido stations. Walk about 15 mins from either stations to reach the shrine.

At night, we get back to Shinagawa, we managed to find bbq restaurant somewhere near our house.
