Our flight home to Finland was through Tokyo, where we spent one whole day and one night in a capsule hotel. Here we also had a reunion with our favourite snack: onigiri (the sushi triangle)!
Even though we didn't have much time we still did quite a lot. We visited the gardens of the imperial palace:
The Sanja-sama shrine in Asakusa:
The gaming district of Akihabara:
And in the early morning before our flight, we also strolled around the Tsukij outer fish markets - a famous fish market that is going to be closed in Oktober. Here we bought a japanese kitchen knife and some sushi and saw an enormous fish head.
After that we hopped on a Finnair flight back to Helsinki and our amazing 5,5 months abroad had come to an end. We saw so many amazing places and experienced so much that it's hard to pick out the real highlights of our adventure. Perhaps we'll see things clearer when a little more time has passed. For now we'll just so happy we went!
