Kaito goes to Asakusa

This afternoon the three of us went to Asakusa to see the sights. We weren't the only ones!

Here we are walking out of the train station.  Follow along!

Here we are getting ready to cross the street.  Notice the Tokyo Sky Tree in the background

(and the Panda Bus!)

Here's Kaito crossing the street to check out the Senso-ji Temple.

Here's the Gate of Thunder (entrance to the Temple) in the old town section of Tokyo, Asakusa.

The place was packed out!

There were street vendors galore setup especially for the on-going New Year's celebration.  They were selling everything from chocolate covered bananas to deep fried potatos to more traditional Japanese meals like yaki-tori (chicken on a skewer), yakisoba (noodles & vegetables) and oden (some sort of soup). That's octopus in the nearest container in the photo!

Here we are enjoying some yakitori. (The seats were a little close!)

More people and shops.

Headed back to the Train station.

Check out this light-pole!

Chillin back at the hotel.
