Today we are going on a tour of Tokyo - not all of Tokyo mind you but on one of my favorite routes from Lalaport in Toyosu down the river on to Asakusa - a nice blend of the modern and the traditional past.
The Himiko approaches.
The boat cruise along Sumida River is lovely but the walk along the river bank is also nice too. This is what you can expect if you took the walk. Fans of Galaxy Express 999 with particularly like the cruise because the voice actors and actress give a tour of the ride down the river over the speakers.
Asakusa- where you can experience a more traditional Japan right in the heart of Tokyo - a must visit. But we can make the experience more special and traditional by getting changed into a more appropriate attire. |
| Sensoji temple - the oldest in Tokyo |
Japan is a bicycle country . They introduced some congestion charge for cars which entered the city - this encouraged the citizens to bike it to work.Do you ride a bicycle to work or school? If so, what brand you recommend? I must get a new one this year and make it into an Itachari. I think its supposed to be a panda bus which you can see around the streets of Asakusa.

| Entrance to Sensoji - the Kaminarimon gate. |
Once you pass under the Kaminarimon gate - this is what you will see. This street is called Nakamise which is lined with food and traditional goods.
At the end of Nakamise is Sensoji temple. Everything is lit up at night and becomes a photographers paradise.
okey thats all . sayonara ^^
