A person who has lived in Tokyo for 10 years decided to go sightseeing! Part 3
This post introduces the third day of the 5-night, 6-day trip!
I walked a lot this day too... Not as much as the previous day, but 35,000 steps..?ㅎㅎ

The first place I went to was Nihonbashi. This is the Mecca of Japanese finance, so there are banks and securities firms here. I was studying finance, so I went to see it while I was there.

But my biggest goal was this art museum!
Since it was free for students, I reserved tickets online and went. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it since I'm Korean, but they even let me enter with my student ID issued in Korea.
I like looking at exhibits, so I enjoyed looking at various works. It was a waste to see the exhibits for free.

After looking at the exhibits, I went to Takashimaya. Since it was a department store luxury section, I didn't think about looking around at all (I was being cowardly), and just went to the food section in the basement. Isn't the panda-shaped bread so cute?ㅠㅠ

I had my first meal of the day at a nearby soba restaurant that I had searched for in advance. At 11:30, it was packed with office workers and there was a line. I had high expectations for the soba, but it was just average. The atmosphere was like an old soba restaurant, so that was nice.

The next place I went to was a salt bread restaurant called Pang Maison in Ginza. My friend kept telling me to go there, so I had no choice but to go. But I was really scared because I could see the line from far awayㅠㅠ But it was worth the wait. All the breads were so cheap (basic salt bread was 120 yen...), but the taste and quality weren't bad either. I almost cried while eating the bread. I highly recommend this place!

After passing Ginza and right before going to Tsukiji Market, I went to a temple called Honganji. At first glance, it looks like a cathedral, but it's like Jogyesa Temple in Korea! When you go inside, there is a Buddhist song and a place to pray.

I also walked around the Tsukiji Market right next door. Most of the stores here have moved to Toyosu, so there aren't many left, but it's a place where you can grab a quick bite.

If you walk a little further past Tsukiji Market, you'll come across a place called Hamari-gu, which is a fairly large garden. The entrance fee is 300 yen and there's a large lake. If you go a little deeper, you'll come across a tea house, and the view here is amazing! That tea was 500 yen. It's worth visiting at least once!

Next, I headed to the Stone Steps of Success. If you want to be successful, you have to climb all those stone steps... It's really hard to be successful. But once you get to the top, there's a lot to see. There are some pretty Japanese-style buildings.

Finally, I headed to Tokyo Tower. I've lived here for almost 10 years, but I've never walked right under a tower like this. I felt like my head was going to fall off. The view from afar isn't bad, so I recommend finding hidden spots and taking the best photos of your life!
I guess I'm still young since I didn't feel any pain even after walking like this. It was really hot and I could have gotten heatstroke if I didn't do it right, but I was strong... I went to the Harry Potter Studio the next day with this momentum. Please look forward to the next episode^^
