DisneySea: Fortress Explorations
The last place we explored before leaving was Explorers Landing (a fake castle fortress). I quite like it because it was quite high up and offered superb views. There are also exhibitions on the study of the planets and the earth’s rotation, operate cannons, and various nautical instruments, and more.
Afterwards
We finished around 6pm and didn’t want to stay for the night show and fireworks. We were ravenous by that time but the food in the resort was at rip off expensive prices. What is worse is when we left, they force us to go through floors of shops just so that they can have one final chance to rip us from our money. We finally reached the JR Maihama station with vending machines that sold drinks at normal prices!
We waited around 15 mins for an express train (local slow trains were every few mins) and it was worth it – the journey took less than 20 mins to get to Tokyo station. On the way back we experienced the subway at peak hour. Wow it’s true they do pack people in like sardines! We could barely squeeze into the train but luckily the platform attendant didn’t have to push people in.
For dinner, we were tempted to eat at Tokyo station but decided to head back to Asakusa for an unagi meal. We were in a very small and homely restaurant but the owners were very nice – I felt like I was back in time to a 60s Japanese movie.
