I Heart Tokyo - Part 3

Tokyo - November 5

On Saturday we went to Askakusa and managed to make it through the tourist trap of cookie, hasshi, and kimono vendors relatively unscathed to visit the Sensoji Temple and 5-story Pagoda. We later visited the Tokyo Metropolis Government Buildings to view Tokyo from the 46th floor – very impressive, especially at night.

We met up with Tomoko`s friend, Akiko, in Shinjuku and toured around the area before having dinner and drinks in Roppongi. This area is flooded with gaigins and is notorious for its high rents and high fashion stores. I`ll have a Dior with a side of Prada and some Chanel for dessert, thanks.
