Tokyo Day 1

The first day in Tokyo is soon over. A long day with a lot of rain. The morning started with a heavy japanese breakfast just outside our hotel. What I have seen today, it's very common in Tokyo to eat at this restaurant that looks like a pub. There is a table and high chairs. The meal is bought in a automat and you will receive a ticket to bring to one of the employees. After our breakfast we took a look around Asakusa to see what our neighborhood had to offer.
Just a few steps from our hotel, we got the chance to see the Sensoji Temple, which is the oldest temple in Tokyo. The temple was built in 628 and is famous for its main Kaminari-mon Gate. When you enter, you will see Nakamise Shopping Street which is lined up with 90 different shops that sells souvenirs, clothes and japanese delicacies. I managed to get a small souvenir, as a memory of Japan. We saw a lot of temples today, since we walked around many different areas, for example Asakusa, Akihabara, Nihombashi, Ueno and Ginza. You have probably all heard about the japanese gardens and I must say now I understand why everybody wants their own japanese inspired garden on their backyard. Everything is so green, fresh and the only thing that brings other colors are the fishes swimming around. A temple, of all the one hundred we visited, one came especially to mind. Bentendo Temple that is surrounded by Ueno Oshi Park and the beautiful lake.
After many temples, parks and a lot of walking, my feet were screaming for rest. Dinner was next on our schedule. We decided to pick an area that we didn't visit yet. Shibuya was our next stop where we crossed the worlds biggest crossroad. That was our day, enjoy the pictures. Tomorrow I need to wake up early!
