I was a little daunted by the thought of traveling by myself or with other students and no teachers in a city of this size, so when everyone split up to go exploring, I mainly stayed near the hostel. I did see four important things: the Tsukiji Fish Market, Ariake, the National Museum, and Akihabara Electric Town.
