The famed electronics district of Tokyo.
A short visit, as we had tried again for sumo tickets.
No luck - serious action needed here as only tickets 'on the day' are left).
The first thing to notice?
Double layered escalators! It looks almost vertical.

The buildings were huge, flashy and full of gadget shops of up to 8 floors each. Music was everywhere and tax-free shops are quite a big thing here!

A long browse later through the shops, we came away with a few souvenirs, and we found a Pokemon card shop. The battle was on to find the most expensive one!
This one equates to about £40.00
According to Ryan, not expensive, but to me who on earth would want to pay that?
