We slept late today and decided to take it easy for our last day in Tokyo.
We had lunch at a restaurant close to the Imperial Palace. This was the most food we had eaten at one meal since we got to Tokyo. (It was a buffet.)
After lunch we went to the East Garden at the Imperial Palace. These gardens are actually located where the Imperial Palace was located in the Edo period, so there's some ruins from that old palace that are still existing.
We then took the subway to Jimbocho. This area is known for the new and used bookstores. We saw lots of old books, including a Japanese translation of the Bible, and old copy of Treasure Island, and and English-Urdu dictionary.
After this we went back to the hotel and rested for a little while before ordering pizza for dinner again. Then we packed up for our return trip.

I enjoyed reading your Tokyo posts! It looks like you guys travel the way we do... cram pack as much sight seeing in as possible until you are completely exhausted from running! :-) Thanks for sharing!
