Day 2 in Japan! I could tell the general boost in moral as our group adjusted to the jet lag. Today was a busy day and we met at the NYC to prepare for the rest of the day.
Our first trip of the day was to the Edo Tokyo Museum. After traveling though Shinjuku and Akihabara, we finally arrived at the Ryogoku station. This station is famous for the Edo Tokyo Museum and the Ryōgoku Kokugikan, a massive sports hall that hosted sumo events. As we tapped out like pros with our Suica Cards, we saw all the sumo themed decorations that lined the walls of the station.

The Edo Tokyo Museum had many fun and interactive elements. Everything from the massive bridge, the life size buildings, to the attention to detail made the museum special.

Finally, our last adventure of the day was the Mapping the City assignment. For this assignment we were assigned a different a major station on the Yamanote line with a buddy. However, once we got to the station, we were left to our own devices to take in a part of the city that we probably wouldn’t have visited otherwise.

At the end the assignment, I met up with my peers at the Ikebukuro station and got conveyor belt sushi. This was a great end cap to a busy day.
