Tokyo Trip - July 29, 2011

Day Three

It was a rainy day so I decided that this was the perfect day to spend my day at the Edo-Tokyo Museum.

Sky Tree from the Edo-Tokyo Museum
The museum was very informative.  The displays of the cities in olden times were very detailed.  They provide binoculars so you can get a closer look.






There were also other information that I found very interesting.



I also found the display for the blind very considerate.  In fact, as per my previous post, I had commented about the yellow lines that I found all over the city which at first were to separate pedestrian traffic (did not really make sense to me at that time), I learned they were actually to guide the blind.

Roppongi Hills was next on my list.  I did not get to go up the top of City View.  Riding on elevators to high places isn't really my thing.




I had to take this photo :-)   Kamen Rider 000 
Stopped by Shibuya for a bit.

Ready, Set, Go!

....and here they come!

I happened to get off at Ebisu Station.  There was a "matsuri".  I got to eat my yakisoba and ika -  check!











It started raining once again - I just made it to my hotel before it really poured.  Today was a good relaxed pace.
