Today was short, with class from 9 to 10 a.m. We visited Japan’s Money Museum, where I experienced the weight of 1,000,000 yen. Next was the Stock Market Exchange building, now a historical symbol. The day ended early, and I returned to Asakusa to buy souvenirs, including a tea set and engraved chopsticks. Later, I visited Tokyu Ginza Palace for city night views and photos.

After a short rest, I planned to try ramen for dinner but ended up falling asleep and missing it.
