Asakusa



After Ueno park, we headed over to Asakusa which was only a few stops on the Tokyo Metro 

(Uneo has both a JR Station and Metro Station, they are close but they don't seem be be connected, you need to walk out on the street from one to the other).

Asakusa can best be described as a Japanese Paddy's market, only not quite as crap. A lot of junk is sold there, however you will find some nice Japanese souvenirs. Also the vendors are not pushy, you can wander around without something trying to get you to buy something as soon as you approach.

Sharon loved the place, I think we will be making another stop there before we leave Japan.
