Day 16 - Tokyo (Ueno + Airport)

Today's our last day in Japan and we decided to pop back to Ueno for lunch and grab some last minute shopping (read: food to lug home).



We walked around abit and saw this super happening, steaming hot yakitori place jammed pack with people and decided we'll eat there. The menu was all in Japanese but I could read some kanji/chinese characters on the menu and we started off from there before looking around and simply pointing what looked good on other people's plates.





We finished eating and went off to the Ameyoko Market and grabbed a box of 5 peaches (intensely juicy and sweet), a box of Kyoho Grapes and packs of Japanese seaweed and konbu. We picked up some more stuff at the deli supermarket in Ueno Station and even bought a box of prepacked Maisen Tonkatsu sandwich to enjoy on the flight home!

It was a rush back to the hostel where we then did abit of repacking and said goodbye to the fantastic K's house crew.
On the flight home, strangely I didn't feel super duper sad to go. Maybe coz we had such a fulfilling trip, we did all that we wanted to do so there were no regrets. And definitely oso coz I know I am gonna come back!! And real soon too!
