Tokyo 6/09 Days 3 & 4: Ginza & Ageha
The following day started off late as I was all partied out from the previous night. I woke up to a setting sun and not wanting to waste a single minute of what remained of the day, I got ready and headed out for sushi in Shibuya.
This happened to be a standing sushi joint which meant to me get in and get out.
But the folks here were very friendly, and we took our sweet time. The sushi was very delicious by the way.
Hopped on the Ginza line after the meal to go… well to Ginza. My cousin was in search for a tea set similar to the one he used in Harajuku.
Headed out the A13 exit which lead us right outside the Apple Store. I actually wanted to check if my friend was working. He was not.
From there I played tourist guide and pointed out places I’ve seen and been to.
Good to see the Casio watch still sitting high.
Adidas promotional ads.
We decided to save the shopping for another day since it was a bit late.
Heading back to the train.
Outside Shibuya station.
Couldn’t end day 3 without a bowl of ramen.
Day 4 didn’t start off so well. My buddy was supposed to pick me up for lunch, but he got in a fender bender so couldn’t meet up until dinner. He took us to a traditional Japanese restaurant close to our hotel.
Sashimi came first.
Edamame is always good to snack on.

The dinner was great and it was good to catch up with my friend. Immediately following the dinner, I had to meet another friend at Shibuya station who was going to take us clubbing. We first dropped into a bar located in Aoyama where we met up with three of the 2009 Miss Japan Universe contestants. Apparently my friend is dating Chinatsu Hata, who I thought should have won by the way. With a few drinks my system, nice chat, and coincidentally running into Yone, we left and headed to Club Ageha in Shinkiba.
We went to Ageha by free shuttle bus from Shibuya. Once I got seated I noticed more people packing on when it appeared all the seats were taken. I figured girls got to pick a guy to sit on, so I made my lap presentable. Then I noticed people flipping open pull out seats which extended down the isle.
The ride took approximately 30 minutes, and everyone was eager to get in. Ageha is also known as Studio Coast and has over an one thousand people capacity. They play different kinds of electronic music and is single-handedly the biggest club I have ever step foot in. Security is strict so cameras and bags were not allowed inside. Lockers are available outside for you to place your belongings. For pictures of this place go under “Party Report” on their website.
This turned out to be an even longer night than day 2 since the trains didn’t start running until 5-6am.
I was beat, not to mention wet from sweat and rain. It felt good knowing a shower and bed awaited me at the hotel.
