Tokyo, Japan, Wednesday [Daytime]

It's a crisp and clear Wednesday here in Tokyo. Not too cold, but you definitely want to take a jacket with you as you explore the city. Or maybe you just won't leave your hotel room because doing so meant you might not have a bed when you got back. Up to you.

The modern TRUNK hotel offers green spaces and wide balconies in the heart of Tokyo. Located just a stone's throw from the famous Shibuya, Aoyama and Harajuku neighborhoods, you'll find plenty to do around here.

The standard wide rooms with balcony with twin- or double beds you'll be sleeping in are a lot more modern, and each has a nice balcony with a hammock chair to chill out in. Enjoy, relax. Though for some reason, one of the balcony rooms is smaller than all the others.

Someone's going to have to sleep on the balcony.

Or spend some time in Trunk's comfortable lounge and have some cocktails and coffee.

Hungry? You'll find breakfast, lunch and dinner in the aptly named Trunk(Kitchen), featuring a range of both Japanese and international cuisine.

And, of course, Wayne was there to start out his day right by getting some breakfast and pouring over a few brochures and things on his phone as he started to map out how to spend his second day in Tokyo, which would decidedly involve more sushis and shashimis.

Oh, he got so much time for sushis and shasimis.

Belle had eaten plenty of adorable desserts last night but now it was time for breakfast.

How could she resist the french toast? She couldn't. To be fair, she didn't try very hard.

If Kitchen's fare isn't to your liking, there's also TRUNK(Kushi), a restaurant celebrating the fine art of taking meat and putting it on a stick. And offal. Lots of offal.

Cara was eating meat on a stick. Many meats on many sticks in fact.

She still hadn't gotten over the lack of meat the first two days.

This street is the heart of Tokyo's famous Harajuku neighborhood, where fashionistas show off their latest looks on the street. But you can also duck into a purikura, take some candid photos, and edit them, dine with Tokyo monsters at the Monster Cafe, grab a bite of rainbow grilled cheese, or duck into the Meiji Shrine to relax from all the shopping you've probably been doing.

Somehow, Stark ended up at the Monster Cafe for lunch.

This may have been a mistake. But then again, maybe a trippy, colorful, and utterly bizarre restaurant would just remind him of various locations in the Uncharted Territories.

It'll be a few months before the next official sumo championship is due, but while you're here, why not stop by and watch these powerful athletes practice in the morning?

For fans of movies like 'Blown Away' and 'The Castle That Moved', a stop by the Ghibli Museum is essential. Learn the stories behind the making of the famous movies, enjoy the sketches and the giant replicas of lovable characters.

For fans of ramen, on the other hand, there's the Shinjuku neighborhood. Here you'll find just about any style, made by some of the best ramen chefs in the city.

Look, you can find a cat cafe anywhere these days. But an owl cafe? Well, Tokyo has seven of them. Go in, get some coffee, enjoy the owls.

Lucille had been looking for a place to stop for a nice cup of tea, and when she entered one of them, she was surprised to find herself being stared at by quite a few owls.

She stared back. Then ordered a cup of tea, and spent an hours getting to know the birds, asking if she could buy one. She was informed that they were not for sale, and perhaps that was for the best. Still, Tisarwat would have to look at quite a few pictures of them when she got back home.

You still have a full day in Tokyo ahead of you! Why not break out the map and go explore somewhere interesting? Just, um. Don't touch that vending machine. It looks haunted.

Sleeby.
