Monday was our last full day before we had to head back to the dreary and miserable UK. We planned to look around the national Museum and the Science museum at Ueno Park but when we got there it was closed. So we took advantage of the quiet and took some photos in the park by the fountains. We moved onto Ueno markets to have a look around the stalls and we sampled some street food. They were very hot dumplings with pork and soup inside, which were surprisingly tasty.
That evening we got all dressed up smart and visited the Sky Tree. The Sky Tree is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and is 634m high. The views were incredible, with the entire city lit up in the dark; we could make out where the hostel was.
After the Sky Tree we headed to the Lockup restaurant. This haunted prison themed restaurant was amazing. Simon got handcuffed on the way in and we were escorted to our table, where we were locked up for the duration of the meal. All the food was haunted and the drinks looked like they were cooked up in a mad scientist’s lab. When all the lights went down UV lights made all the white stand out and the drinks lit up, scary Japanese voices were heard and then followed by characters dressed up aimed to scare us, it was great fun. After the meal, we went to karaoke where Simon on good from showed off his singing talent once more.
