After a much needed nap following our early morning at Tsukiji we ventured off for some touristing in Shibuya and Harajuku. We caffeinated at Sorama and made our way to Shinjuku for a very Tokyo experience… Robot Restaurant.
One of our friends in San Francisco said “there is life before Robot Restaurant and there is life after Robot Restaurant” (hi, L!) and I couldn’t agree more. It was an odd and unforgettable experience…
It started with music and drums and dancing, which continued throughout the show… and then there was a Panda:
And a gorilla:
And a shark…
And a snake/dragon:
And finally a robot showed up!
And then there was a robot snake/dragon:
Things just got weird and I lost the storyline (yes, there was a storyline: robots taking over some mystical forest and then there was a robot battle and then a bunch of robots started dancing around):
This was definitely a ridiculous experience and it was awesome. If you decide to go, buy tickets online in advance and skip the bento.
After Robot, we grabbed drinks in Golden Gai, which is a cool (though touristy) area filled with tiny bars (most charge a cover, are filled with cigarette smoke, and only seat about 8 people at a time). It was a very busy day but great way to start the weekend with Elliot & Rachel.
