Another Move, Ebisu, & Shibuyagain

17-7-6
TOKYO DAY 6

Moved from Nishi-Kawaguchi into the more centrally located Asakusa. 3rd place we stayed at in Tokyo. Nicer hostel generally, but a bit of rowdy goings-on at odd hours by other travellers - i.e. we're getting too old for that stuff! Best aspect of this place - no curfew. Not sure if this is the same in hostels in other parts (not in our experience atleast), but most hostels here in Japan have an 11pm curfew. So no getting in after then. Met a few revellers who have resorted to the capsule hotels due to said curfews. Does restrict the freedom a bit, so good to stay somewhere when we dont need to worry about it.

Ebisu.

Decided to check out Ebisu. Quite a small area relative to Shinjuku and Harajuku. Predominantly bars, cafes, and restaurants. More of a refined feel, without being overly yuppie-esque. Somewhere professionals might meet after work for dinner. Once again, another place with quite different characterto other areas, despite being only a few metro stops from Harajuku/Shinjuku.Had fried prawn dumplings, pork dumplings, and steamed shrimp wontons at a small restaurant.
