Sunday and Monday hijinx

Sunday saw us go to a monster cafe, stay at the robot hotel, visits Akihabara and have diner at a Greek restaurant.  The day started with a trip to a record store as apparently they are still a thing here, and a somewhat futile attempt to find more DMC cottons. We then went through a completely jam packed Akihabara to get the monster cafe. It was an explosion of colour and fun and worth it once just for that. The food took a super long time to arrive and it was kind of ordinary tasting though it looked anything but. 

Then we went across town on the metro system which was pretty busy and checked into the robot hotel.  We had actual human staff though as the robots were undergoing repairs although they were still at the counter too. It was a comfortable enough room and we really loved that it had a chrome cast which enabled you to stream into the relatively big tv screen. It’s something other hotels could do to emulate tbh. Then we went to Akihabara with it’s glowing lights and manga stores. Finally we finished the evening at a Greek restaurant overlooking Ginza. 

Monday saw us take the train to Hiroshima. The train was fairly comfortable but I’m glad we just shipped our bags ahead of us! We arrived in Hiroshima mid-afternoon and took time to unwind before having dinner at the rooftop restaurant.  I have developed quite a liking for restaurants with a view on this trip. Hiroshima was much larger than I imagined and quite vibrant despite its unhappy past.
