Beginning to get into Tokyo

OkGot away a little ahead of time and to our first attack on the Tokyo Metro system. Forecast is 34C (to feel like 38C). As earlier noted, Tokyo Station is huge about 10 lines on three levels and about 1 square kilometre with too many passageways to count.
Across the day, four train trips - one including a transfer, and all successfully negotiated. All the stations are huge and wherever we enter is distant from the relevant platform - and usually down 40+ steps. Stations are all perfectly clean, trains every 4 or 5 minutes - and so far not overcrowded.
First to Tsukiji Outer Market. Tsukiji was the site of the old wholesale fish market (with the tuna auctions) but that relocated a couple of years back. All of the retail market remains and there are dozens of stalls - seafood, meat, fruit, vegetables, hardware, knives etc, etc, both inside and out, and very busy.
Back to Maranouchi for a walking tour of the Imperial Palace gardens. Being a little ahead of time gave opportunity for a haircut, but negotiation skills failed to deliver an "old boys" price and had to have, and pay, the full whack! It was a David Beckham price, but I don't expect he has been there (blogger readers of Portugal will understand). Anyway a basic haircut in Tokyo is the full job - cut, shampoo, shave (including forehead), ears, nose and with head & shoulder massage. All of this in a shop with eight female hairdressers (none below 50 - and mine was probably older than me!!!).
Then to the Tourist Office for our Imperial Palace gardens walking tour, only to find that it is cancelled today because of the heat, "very, very dangerous"!! We head off to do it ourselves after a quick sandwich and iced coffee adjacent to a Tokyo 2020 Olympics promotion site.
Over to the outer Imperial Palace gardens, moat, main gate etc adjacent to a very nice boulevard area, similar to St Kilda Road. Then back to Ginza to give Pat a crack at upmarket shopping, but the heat took its toll after a while, so back to Tokyo Station for the Daimaru food hall. It is huge, plenty of samples and so much food - and so easy to get lost.
Dinner of seafood, salad and Paul Bocuse pastry, purchased and back to our apartment for a well earned beer. Portable WiFi has worked perfectly and Google maps is an essential - just wish I had familiarised myself more.
Only one of us made it back to the guest lounge this evening. It was hosting a Monopoly Tournament, supposedly featuring World & Japanese Champions - judging by the frivolity, it was not too serious.
