We get up early in order to visit the sumo stable and see the giants of the ring practising their skills. Today is Emperor Hirohito's birthday so despite our 1 hour trip we only see one sumo; all the others were on smoko!
We return to Shinkuju in order to book our train tix for the rest of this trip-this only took about 2 hours and now we have to buy anew suitcase to accommodate the reams of paper tickets.
We find a rather unusual eating shop and have some quite scrumptious chicken and rice.

Next stop is the big Takeshiama department store or more pacifically the food basement; this is food porn at its best

| Food as art |
Following a brief snooze we visit the overwhelming BIC camera shop and then it is beer o'clock.
We have just enough energy to visit the Don Quijote weird Japanese shit shop
and then chow down for some state of the art tempura.
