Ted has read about this amazing dept store so we wend our way in the rain up there. WE have one umbrella and in the deluge, pick up another one for $5, but it's huge so we are on the lookout for a cheap portable one from China! We hop into a tiny sushi bar and get a really good lunch with beers for $50.
Into Isetan, we first checked out the lower food floor, which is huge and incredibly impressive, and busy. Senior Tokyo ladies get their groceries here, but everyone seems able to pick up a treat or two. We venture up the other 10 or so floors and find kimonos at $3,000, and that's just the basic wraps. You still need the obi, slippers, hair adornment, small purse, etc. Some beautiful fabrics and tapestry type designs too.
That night we returned to the sushi restaurant we visited our first night, but had to wait 30. minutes for a table on Saturday night.
The rain eased off tonight, I am out of sleeping pills now so I hope we are tired enough of schepping around in the rain to sleep through the night on day 4. Almost packed, we are ready to venture further afield tomorrow.
