Solar Eclipse & Tsukiji Breakfast

This meetup is closed to new rsvps!

Please read my email for details about the meetup location and time.

I have looked into breakfast places in Tsukiji and there are a bunch of

seafood and sushi places open in the morning, so we should have

no problems finding a nice place to eat.

If you prefer coffee, there's a Tully's nearby as well as a few family

restaurant type places.

-----------------------------

A meetup at 7am? Whaaa?

No, I did not make a mistake. We will be meeting up at

7am on a Monday to see the solar eclipse. It's the first time in 173 years that

a solar eclipse will be visible in Tokyo!!

The complete eclipse is estimated to be around 7:30 so we will meet at

7:00. After seeing the eclipse, people who have time can join me for breakfast

in Tsukiji. We can get sushi or traditional Japanese breakfast or go to tullys for

coffee!

All participants must bring a solar eclipse visor or glasses.

You can purchase them at Amazon or your local bookstore/stationery store. (300yen to 1500yen)

Try to purchase them ahead of time, as they tend to get sold out quickly.
