I decided, no climbing Fujiama, too much risk bad weather tomorrow and then I was invited to spend a day with the dance company. I am very sorry but now I've decided, on the dawn Fuji is one of those things I will do in life, along with the ascent of Kilimanjaro and Mont Blanc.
This morning around the Ginza district of Tokyo where chic designer shops as well as there are more interesting things, like the Sony Building , where all the latest models not yet on the market for this brand. The most absurd and useless is an mp3 player that opens activated and begins to dance in time with the music forward ...
But what interests me is to visit the Tokyo International Forum, building modern architect Raphael Vinoly, an enormous glass vessel that sails the sky over Tokyo! And 'huge and really nice, the photos do not give an idea of \u200b\u200bthe grandeur of this building. Inside, in addition to three huge concert halls, there are a museum, a library, a garden with bar and various shops and convention facilities. The ride up and down the catwalk in high glass give a spectacular view from above, but now you can not see the rooms. I try to sneak two henchmen but I find myself in the ribs that I stand in the way ... these Italians!
After the ride take the Ginza Line and I move into the area Ikebukuro, another district commercial, less flashy of Shinjuku, but also full of attractions e. .. localetti some strange alleys. There are the usual
Seibu , Seitan, Big Room, Yamaha mega store and all the most popular shopping malls with their inputs directly into the subway station. I'm walking for at least four hours, the heat is scorching my feet and scream ... the solution? And there before my eyes, the streets are inviting signs like this one every three meters, but I choose the less flashy, two thousand six hundred yen (about € 15) for a foot massage. The study is on the third floor of a tiny building, a young man greets me very worried because There is a foreigner, he does not speak English and I have not booked (for giapu prepared and who would welcome the best, book is always important in all things!). Pointing to his feet and saying massage, we understand, just feet today, I want to first see if it's good.
I am entering the room, pull up the blinds so I can see the view from the window and I get to wear shorts as not to dirty my clothes. What starts with a hot tub feet screaming that lasts about ten minutes in which he goes on. Then again, armed with towels and essential oils, it makes me stretch, and I also covered her face with a cloth, to relax better ... What can I say? Keep trying! One foot at a time, one finger at a time, then the arch, heel, ankle, calf ... is also a little bad, but Shiatsu is so, it is to dissolve all the muscle tension then ... switch to the other foot and in a flash pass forty five minutes. In the end I say "finish pliz! , which is already finished? Time flies! He's sweaty feet I feel very light and as new, I get dressed quietly, I leave the closet and I'm going to pay. The little man massage has prepared a card face for me, a free massage every ten, but I am among some allotment! Do not even try to explain it, who knows how old is this card ... We'll meet again dear, I'll be sure to make a full shiatsu treatment, you are very good and then for twenty-five euro would say that you can do!
almost flying I find myself strolling Sunshine Street, the shopping street of a thousand signs, at the bottom of which there Tokyu Hands, my favorite store here that has its main store. Eight floors devoted entirely to home and do it yourself: a piano solo of stationery, one kitchen (and here I buy equip great!), One curtains, carpets and bedding, just a relaxing, with ergonomic pillows, relaxing massage chairs and equipment of every shape and kind, a plan for DIYers, one for the lamps, one for items like wedding cards, placeholder, decorations, bridal registry ... etc, a herbal and natural cosmetics and one for intelligent games, educational game type center, where there are robots and cars that have small panels of solar instead of batteries!
I would buy everything, certain items do not exist here, especially to the plan being there are wonderful things, but I can spend little to contain, and taking away the right.
There is a ninth floor of Tokyu Hand s dedicated to animals in his shop Neko-Bukura, where neko, cat, is the absolute master. Among the various things that the little animals are just like torture, but some owners are happy (with the kimono ... I do not ever put my cat ...) game center where there is a cat who did not have a place and time for all his spupazzarsi can go to a cat, but very beautiful indeed twenty cats, too bored ...
It is already dark, I shall return to this place because I've seen a couple of things that I absolutely have to take possession and then there's the little man ... what a massage, I could, I would put it in your suitcase!
