While walking back to the station, I found a branch of Yodobashi Camera in there, and bought myself three lithium disposable battery (which cost awfully expensive compared to Jakarta, around 3-4 times in the price) as well as a new original Nikon lens cap (for this one, in Jakarta it is 3 times more expensive) replacing the one I lost in Athens three years ago.

Reading the Lonely Planet guide for Tokyo, I managed to find a traditional market just behind the station. Because it was already the time for us to go to Ginza to meet Mr. Raymond, we did not have the time to shop in there.

Another train took us to Ginza, and we walked a couple of blocks to the Sony Building. Mr. Raymond was already there and we entered the building, took a lift to the top and walk downwards.

The building’s inside is shaped like a spiral, so we ended at the ground floor and exit through the main gate. It is a showcase of latest Sony products, ranging from high definition LCD TVs, HD camcorders, some camera with face-recognition, Sony Vaio laptops (with customization service), and many more. Inside is also a tax-deductible shop selling those products.

Ginza is another crowded business district. Somewhere near Sony Building is the Nikon’s showroom, located in the Fujifilm building. We did not enter any other building though, as it is already time for lunch. We walked to the Tsukiji fish market, which is adjacent to Ginza. Confused in choosing which Sushi restaurant to enter (as mostly does not know English), we finally entered one. With the “point-and-eat” method we managed to order some plates of sushi.

To our surprise, sushi in there has the wasabi integrated inside, unlike in Japanese restaurants in Indonesia. Felix, who does not like seafood (especially raw ones), did not order anything. We went to a McDonalds after that for him to have his lunch.
