Day 30 - Juyugaoka

After class today, many of the guys were planning to go to a Palace in Kyokyu (I think that's the name). Instead of going with them, I jumped on the train home-bound with Nami and Ashly. Once I got home, I rested for a bit, and made plans with Nami to go do something.

We decided to go to a new place called Juyugaoka, a small town with a shopping district, and many things to see. When we got there, we were able to cover most of the town in an hour or so. But seeing as how we've only spent so little time there, we decided to walk around some more. In doing so, we ended up getting ourselves a bit lost in the next town over. We must have walked around for a few hours total before finding the train station and making our way back.

It's a funny thing, the train stations. We caught a train we thought would take us back to Shibuya and make our way back from there. But no, instead we wound up heading in the opposite direction and catching trains that headed to the other side of the map. From wherever we were, we caught about two other trains before we gave up and stopped in Ebisu.

When we got to Ebisu, we walked around the town to see what was there, until we got hungry. On the top floor of Ebisu station there were various restaurants which we were able to choose from. After a nice Italian dinner we caught the trains we knew well back home.
