Tokyo Trip - Eat Pray Love - Day 7 - Ciba


Plan for the day : Tsukiji - Ginza - Ciba - Asakusa
Early morning visit Tsukiji Fish Market and try the sushi meal.
Afternoon visit Ginza area.
Evening go to Ciba to find the house that Shirakawa Riko stay before in drama Buzzer Beat
Night visit Asakusa to take photo of Sky Tree and Sensoji Temple.


Detour from the normal tourist spot. Ciba is not famous for any shopping or historic place. Just a district in the megalopolis Tokyo. But I am here to visit the house that Shirakawa Riko stay and to the basketball court that they always date. With some luck, I may even take the photo of  "Love Make You Strong". (^___^)




But..... plan always meet with some incident that make the plan don't work as I thought.


A very old looking bridge. But somehow feel familiar. Maybe from all the Japan Drama or Anime.


This bridge should have some history.


In the past, canal like this is use by factory to transport goods. Thus I believe this canal area use to be a busy industry center.


Pass by a small hospital. If not because I can read the chinese word, I won't be able to recognize the building is a hospital.


Reach the place but WHERE is the basketball court?????


Where is the condo that Riko stay????


7 Eleven shopping mall?!?!?! I am not sure. I guess there should sell some cheap daily use item. But my time for today is very tight schedule. So I did not spend time to walk here.


Also pass by a cheaper sushi shop. Price is more affordable.


Look at these 2 word, it means "FREE" in Japan. 


Also take photo of some locker. Locker like these can be found in most subway station. In some major subway station, there is larger locker that can fit the luggage bag. So tourist who need to find place safe keep your luggage, you can do it in these place. But take note on the price and remember where you keep the luggage bag.

A fruitless detour. Not able to see the drama shooting location. Sad :(

Hi.

I was planning to go to this site. But as you have shown, it seems, it's no longer there. Are you 100000% sure it's no longer there? :( .

Hi,

Sorry for late reply.

Yes I am very sure it is no longer there.
Perhaps a new condo will be in place of it.
