Tsukiji, Ueno, Asakusa

We covered an enormous amount of ground around Tokyo today. The morning started of in Tsukiji with the world famous market. We weren't up at 5am for the tuna auction but it was still amazing to see the vast array of seafood (example below).

Next stop was Ueno and some beautiful Hanami. When the wind blew it looked like it was snowing. The Ueno Park had a number of trees with blossoms and people everywhere.

Onto the train again, this time for Asakusa. The shrine, pagoda and temples were quite beautiful. Lots of Hanami and people to go with it.

After a long walk around Asakusa we headed across the river to Tokyo Sky Tree. Not even open a year yet , it dominates the surrounding skyline. We decided not to wait for 4.5 hours to go up to the observation points.

Instead we headed to Roppongi Hills and it really hit home just how vast Tokyo is.

Tomorrow more adventures around Tokyo.
