… or rather the lack of it. This is prolly why I need an editor.

JDay 6-7 – Freezing in the mountains…
Well, to tell you the truth I’ve slacked a bit in posting, sorry. But here’s the long overdue post about the much anticipated Nikko trip, JDay 6-8. But there were wayyy too many pics so I’ve had to break it to 2 posts. Do bear with me.
The pic up top is the Tobu Asakusa station while I was waiting for the trip up.

JDay 4-5 – Relaxing Weekend
Well, considering the fact that it’s been a very busy 3 days for me, I was planning to take it easier on the weekend, in preparation for my Nikko trip on monday.
It was also time to bid farewell to Aizuya Inn as I was switching to Khaosan Original in Asakusa due to it’s relative proximity to the Asakusa Tobu Station (my Nikko departure point).
Checking out of Aizuya, I was initially apprensive about Khaosan as one of the new Aizuya guests didn’t really sing praises about the place. But oh well.
As I reached the Asakusa area, the weather made it even more grim: I couldn’t even see the Tokyo Sky Tree as it was raining and clouds were covering everything up.

JDay 3 – The Beach… is Freezing Cold
So, day three, and I’m off to Kamakura and Enoshima, though I woke up a tad late so I only began the journey at 10, which was smack dab in the middle of the Tokyo Morning Rush. Even the “limited express” train to Fujiwara (en route to Kamakura) – which is considerably a distance away from Tokyo – was quite full.

JDay 2 – Sushi and Tokyo’s Other Side
So, done with my first day, I woke up in the wee hours the next day (read: after 7) and headed out to Tsukiji for a sushi breakfast. Above is how the market looks like when I arrived.
Yes, it was a cold rainy day in Japan. I wonder how I woke up at all. Despite that, I quickly found my way to Sushi Dai and got my RM160 (¥4000) “omakase” (read: the “I trust you, Mr. Itamae – chef – so don’t kill me” set) for breakfast. Everything was fresher then fresh and the “Uni” (sea urchin) paticularly was sweet and delicious.
I wonder why the Uni we (me and my family) had back in Yokohama 7 years ago was so… fishy.
Anyhow, pictures were prohibited in Sushi Dai, so you’ll just have to trust my words. Though that has to be one of the most expensive breakfasts in my entire life, I could say it was well worth it.
Why Sushi Dai? No idea, it was either that or Daiwa Sushi, and I’ve heard that Dai has better variety. Plus I forgot I actually wanted to go to another place to avoid lining up, thankfully there were no lines over at Dai anyway.
My tummy filled with raw, squirming fish, I moved on to other places. More after the jump…
