住宿：東京KKR酒店 KKR Hotel Tokyo

經過十天從東京出發的東日本南北海道之旅，從仙台乘坐1.5小時新幹線再次回到東京。冒大雨到酒店登記後先休息一會，在酒店餐飲區喝一口附送的熱檸檬茶。看著窗外景色深感不妙，要不愛購物的小編去逛商場實在受不了，而且當天是神田祭前奏呢！幸好半小時後雨勢減弱一點，就出發吃午餐了。最後3天的東京行程比較散亂，觀光地點大概會分成2篇約略介紹。

◢The 1.5-hour Shinkansen from Sendai brought me back to Tokyo, where I started my long journey. Under heavy rain I had to stay in hotel for a while after check-in. Glad that hotel provided me a free hot drink at its lounge. Luckily the rain let up a bit half-an-hour later that I could go for a lunch. Given the messy schedule in Tokyo in the last 3 days, different sightseeing spots will be introduced in 2 articles.

酒店送了杯熱飲

最後幾天基本上是累到不行，當然是要吃點好東西獎勵自己！從秋葉原南口出來走5分鐘，就會找到炸豬排名店丸五，一般都會看到大門對面馬路的長長人龍。也多虧雨天人流有減少，只等了10分鐘就入座。店內面積有如其他小店但不會太擠迫，也有提供放背包的地方。菜單上除了炸豬排，炸蝦也是丸五人氣菜式。

◢You may likely find a long queue opposite to the famous tonkatsu restaurant Marugo within a short distance from Akihabara south gate. I waited for 10 minutes only before ordering due to the rain. Apart from pork cutlet, fried fresh shrimp is also famous dish in Marugo.

從生肉到炸豬排都可以看到豬排脂肪比例不高，本來是不抱期望。吃下去才知道肉質厚實也能做到肉嫩汁多的效果，外皮炸粉也是恰到好處。醬油不用加或加一點就好，最重要是嘗到豬的原味和本來的肉汁！

◢From raw meat to fried one, you can see there is limited fat on the pork. Surprisingly, the fried cutlet was still tender and succulent. Sauce was not necessary but was added to slightly enhance its favor. After all the meat and gravy matter most.

路邊神田祭日程

飯後雨勢加劇，硬著頭皮去看看神田祭。作為日本三大祭之一，神田祭是江戶時代慶祝德川家康勝出關原之戰的祭典，一般在五月中旬進行，有供奉、巡遊、夜間慶祝等活動。這天只看了巡遊轎車及幾場鼓樂表演，2017年的真正巡遊應該在5月14日，大概會跟香港長洲太平清醮或大坑舞火龍一樣水洩不通，所以按自己輕鬆步伐看看算了。

◢The storm resumed after lunch. However, my desire to Kanda-matsuri Festival brought me to the temples. As one of the "three great festivals" in Japan, Kanda-matsuri Festival in mid-May celebrates as a demonstration of prosperity under the new regime by Tokugawa shogun . The actual parades should be on May 14 in 2017.

打鼓的人都好歡樂

很有趣但不敢試 XD

接下來用僅餘的日照時間去吉祥寺。這邊沒多研究，只跟杜如風去嘗鮮，さとう的松阪牛肉丸賣清光，就轉戰みんみん吃餃子，味道很普通呢。6時多吉祥寺大多店舖已關門，小編走了一整天也很累，回程隨便選一間餐廳吃晚餐，意外地好吃，可惜已忘了店名。

◢The remaining daytime spent in Kichijōji. It was sad that the beef meatball at Satou was sold out. I could only try some normal dumplings and random dinner around.

可惡竟然售罄

大處分蠻好笑的

回到小編頗滿意的KKR酒店，房間算是寬敞，15樓景觀很不錯，能直接看到竹橋方向的皇居。兩晚都在嘗試拍攝車軌，效果也相當不錯！晨早起來就看到路上有單車及長跑活動，酒店中庭也剛好在舉行婚禮。不得不讚嘆的是，日本跑手都是笑著跑！

◢KKR Hotel Tokyo was satisfactory with nice view on Kōkyo. Light trail shooting during nighttime in the room was an interesting experience too. The next morning there were cycling and marathon functions around Kōkyo and also wedding in the hotel courtyard.

KKR酒店有免費穿梭巴士

房間有足夠桌面空間放東西很重要

剛抵埗拍的大雨茫茫

效果真不錯技巧及相機有待加強

一早已有長跑及單車賽

等候電梯時看到婚禮

跑步都笑著跑

皇居整體範圍很大，分為皇居內、皇居外苑及皇居東御苑。要進入皇居內需要提前預約或現場排隊入場，另外兩個區域則較自由。皇居東御苑大部份都是保養的花園草地、濠及古建築。進入前要先在各入口領取一小塊免費的入場券，離開時要交還，小編從KKR酒店方向的板橋平川門進入。動線方面，跟神宮沒差別，尤其沒要進去皇居內的話路線有限，不用想太多隨心走就可以。這裡比一般神宮有更多的池塘、小橋及濠溝，令拍攝構圖更多元化，季節選對還可以賞櫻賞菊呢！至於皇居外苑就靠近東京車站，日後有機會再去散步。

◢Kōkyo is literally the imperial residence, consisted of main Kōkyo, Kōkyo-Gaien National Garden and Kōkyo East Garden.The main Kōkyo requires reservation or limited queue quota while the other two are relatively free. Before entering Kōkyo East Garden, a free 3D entrance ticket will be given which you need to return at the end. Compared with most shrine in Japan, Kōkyo is more lively with ponds, bridges and moats. This enriches photo composition, especially when there are cherry blossoms and chrysanthemum. Kōkyo-Gaien National Garden is located closest to Tokyo station so I can visit easily in the future.

這棵應該是櫻花樹喔

五月也有些小花

團體遊覽皇居也挺多的

從北桔橋門出來，直走可以找到設計特別的科學技術館（或者是密集恐懼建築），適合帶小孩去，大概跟名古屋科學館一樣有各種有趣設施可以玩。繼續往前走會到達日本武道館，當日門外有各大學召集處，看起來正舉辦活動而且是自由進出就去探索一下。場館很美，原來正舉行大學生劍道選手權大會，滿有趣的發現。後來才知道武道館曾是五月天、Aimer、久石讓等等開過演唱音樂會的地方呢！

◢Right outside Kitahanebashi-mon I reached to Science Museum with modern (or trypophobia) design. I guess it would be as interesting as the one in Nagoya for kids. Another hundred metres Nippon Budōkan came into my eyes. The stadium looks magnificent and there was Kendo try-out for university athletes. This place is also popular for holding worldwide concerts.

從田安門離開皇居範圍，向左走幾分鐘會看到每年都引起爭議的靖國神社。這裡的歷史大家應該都有從新聞聽過甚至搜索過，小編相信歷史這回事只要沒被篡改都自有公論，偉大的值得記住，醜惡的更值得引以為鑑，避免犯上重覆的錯誤。然而權力使人腐敗這種永垂不朽的醜惡依然存在於香港及世界各地，且看日後時間會否辨明一切。話說回頭靖國神社的鳥居是小編見過最有歷史痕跡的一座，而神社範圍也是數一數二的空曠，另外旁邊有軍事博物館等各種資料。

◢Leaving Kōkyo from Tayasu-mon, Yasukuni Shrine is not far away on the left. Aside from right or wrong, I believe we all should learn from history, yet "power tends to corrupt" is still happening in Hong Kong and all over the world. In terms of the environment, the Shrine is spacious and has the most antiquated Torii I have ever seen.
