Walking through Tokyo

We started our day off by taking the subway to the Tsukiji Fish Market  The subway system is huge and very efficient. One needs their ticket to enter and exit  The trains are full but very quiet as talking on cellphones is prohibited, texting only.  The fish market was very interesting, all kinds of fresh and dried fish.  Delicious strawberries on rice cakes!

We then proceeded to Asakusa to view the Buddhist temple  It was an incredible sight to see  Lots of people praying.

 We then went to the Sky Tree, the highest tower in the world, just beautiful! Here's some tidbits for you.
The Tokyo Skytree, completed in February 2012, reaches a height of 634 m (2,080 ft), making it the tallest tower, and second tallest free standing structure in the world.

  After that we made a stop at Mid Town for a relaxing drink outside in the beautiful courtyard area.

Tokyo is a very impressive city, so clean, modern, and full of history. Our walking tour was over 20kms  one of the ladies has a pedometer:-)  so after a good dinner at the hotel it is off to bed.

Tomorrow we say Sayonara  to Tokyo and we continue our adventure to Matsumoto!
