0628 - 10 hrs in tokyo

due to transit, i need to (and very happy to) stay in tokyo for 1 night.

as time is short, i have chosen to stay in narita area, which is the town closest to the airport. technically it is chiba, not tokyo. and when i get to walk around the town, it feels so much like the rural small towns!

i had 4 hrs in the morning before heading to the airport again, so i started my morning walk around the JR stn. since i saw many local tourists walking in the same direction, i simply followed them. small shops along the way .... then after 45mins there was this huge temple! no wonder!

most impressive thing was, this town is somehow famous for UNAGI. it's the first time i see& eat live processing of eels. personally i m never a big fan of eels, but hey, it melts in your mouth!
