Day 2 back in Tokyo, time to get back what was lost due to my earlier misfortune at the start of the trip. Today I’ll walk around Asakusa as was my planned day 1
Slept in a bit so left pretty late. An hour on public transport later I arrived in Asakusa and the first thing I saw was the Asahi “cloud”. With the Tokyo Skytree to the left.
That one would be my destination later on in the day, but first some more traditional stuff in the middle of this city.
On the way to this temple there’s a huge market filled with the traditional souvenir shops. Which was handy as I almost found everything there that I needed to bring back home.
After the temple I walked to Kappabashi and from there made my way to the Skytree. But not before stopping at the Burger King for some food.
After walking trough the neighbourhood I arrived at the Tokyo Skytree. Where I went to visit the Pokémon Center. This center has a huge Rayquaza displayed. I found that one pretty cool!
Got my culture take for the day, now it was time to travel to Akihabara, the Geek heaven in Japan. And honestly? I wasn’t that amazed by it, probably dulled by my previous experiences in the country. Had I gone here first, then Dotonbori would’ve been a “meeh” so yeah. Take this with a grain of salt.
It is here big, colourful and shops with more than 6 floors everywhere you look.
I did some more shopping and decided on dinner in a place close to the station. Afterwards I went back to Ikebukuro to play some more Mahjong.
