Our Last Day in Japan

We're in Asakusa at the Nakamise dori that leads to the Sensoji Temple. At this street you can shop for fresh pastries, candies, souvenirs, etc.















Elvis and Marilyn Monroe Monchichis.




Today is our last day. It has been fun but, very tiring and exhausting. Who knows when I will come back? This is my last post from here. Will try to upload more pics when we get home. Hope everyone enjoyed the pictures and for checking them out. Forget Facebook and that farmville stuff. Just blog about it.

Harajuku

Takeshita street. Lots of wild fashion and clothing boutiques.


Gotta have a crepe in Harajuku.



The huge Forever 21 store that opened this year.

I can't read exactly what this certificate of marriage says...but it certifies that we are married in Japan.
