Wednesday, we checked out of the Toyoko Inn, went to Tokyo station and left our bags at Daimaru, a department store. Daimaru is similar to Nordstrom's in America. They have excellent customer service, and will hold your bags while you shop. Or say you're shopping.Then, we hopped on a train toward Asakusa, the Thunder Gate. It was very crowded, but it was really enjoyable!
This is right outside the station, on the way to Asakusa. I've forgotten what Miho told me it was, but it's a golden poo. Or sperm, your choice.
This is any tourist spot in Japan, summed up in one photo. Someone taking a photo in front of a shrine, with the subjects throwing up the peace sign.
See? Told ya.
The market leading up to the shrine. Lots of food and shopping.
A young girl all dressed up in a red kimono to visit the shrine.
The inside of the shrine.
Tbe ceiling was beautiful.
Lighting candles.
You pay 100yen, and shake a metal box that has sticks with numbers on them. You pull one out, and your fortune is in the drawer with that number on it. I drew 93.
Good fortune!
Lunch! Taco and Chikua (Octopus and basically a fish hot dog) from a street vendor. Delicious.
Second lunch! Hooray for BK Lounge. They serve Heineken there.
