Last Day in Tokyo and Visiting the Ikedas! By Izzy
8-16-17
Today is our last day in Tokyo which also means that it is our last day in Japan!😢 We got up and walked around Asakusa and did some shopping. After that, we took the train and bus to the Ikedas. My mom stayed with the Ikedas when she visited Japan when she was 9! The Ikedas are good, long-time friends of Jiji. Satoru-san said that he has known Jiji for FIFTY years!!!
When we got to their house there was a welcome sign at the front of their house. Their granddaughter, Ito-chan was spending her summer vacation with them and she was there too. Their Obaachan (grandma) made some juggling balls and a tissue holder that they gave to us. Satoru-san and Akiko-san had some karaage (fried chicken), fries, edamame, and sushi for us. Mom told Akiko-san that I love mochi and Satoru-san said that Akiko-san was really good at making mochi. We helped Akiko-san roll the mochi into balls and she taught us how to boil them. The mochi was very good with honey and some sesame seeds. We had some sushi but I didn't eat all of it because I ate too much mochi. 😐
After the lunch, we walked to the Daiso near the train station. I got a pencil case and some candy. Finally, we stopped in Akihabara electric town. I got another outfit for my Sumikko gurashis. We took the train back to Asakusa and had cup of noodles for dinner since we were still full from our delicious lunch.
