For sort of the finale of our ICR (inter-cultural relations) class we planned an unguided field trip. Chad and I wanted to go somewhere that the girls wouldn't be interested in since they were in school. We decided to go to the Ginza District of Tokyo. This is an area that is supposed to be similar to 5th Ave in NYC. We are now pros at the train system.
Above is a major cross walk. Right now it is not crowded, but often the whole street is packed with people during rush hour.
This is Chuo "Ave" that has several high end department stores. One thing we have learned is that since most streets in Japan are not named it is very difficult to find address. Most directions tend to be "turn at the 7-11 and then turn left at the Panchanco place". It is very hard to find places.
