This is my second time in Tokyo and Leanne’s first time. I wanted her to have the same amazing experience I had 11 years ago. I didn’t realize it would end up being a new experience for me too!
We started in Asakusa which has the big temple Senso-ji that is one of the most visited temples in Japan. There were tons of vendors outside with great street food.

After this we went to Ueno Park, a refuge from the crazy cityness of Tokyo.

In Ueno park there was a 150 year celebration of.. something (my Japanese is still coming along), and there were lots of stands for environmental protection. And since Japan is so cute, there were also panda stuff everywhere.
In the evening after going to Akihabara electric city, we went to Shibuya scramble crossing. According to Wikipedia: “Shibuya Crossing is the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing, with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time.” So many people, holy moly!
Our hotel is in Shinjuku area (that blue tower straight ahead in the next pic). So much still to see and do but we have to sleep sometime!
