Day 3.

Back on the underground again, this time to Asakusa.


Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple. I only had a short time here unfortunately...


...as I needed to get to Ginza for Kabuki tickets. Only 1000 yen for the 50 minute morning matinee.


Was a great, cheap way to experience traditional Japanese theater.


I then headed out to Minato to Tokyo Tower. The tower was the tallest structure in Tokyo up until 2010, when it was surpassed by the Skytree.


The view from the mid-deck.


Some hot chocolate from a vending machine at the metro. It actually came out steaming hot too.


I then headed to Akhihabara, the electronics district of Tokyo.


And straight to the camera gear.


They had almost all the Canon & Nikon lenses available to try, so had a play with a few of them, including this Canon fisheye lens.


I then went back out to Asakusa to Senso-ji again, since I only had a short time in the morning.


And bought some Kimono's as gifts back home.


A shop selling sweets, cakes etc., with a 100 metre queue down the street!


Spicy pork & rice for dinner for a very reasonable ~800 yen.


Since I was in Japan, I figured I had to check out one of the quirky capsule hotels.


Vending machines & laundry. It was Sunday night, so I got a reduced rate of 2600 yen.


The communal lounge.


My 'room' for the night.


Actually not too bad if you're not too claustrophobic.
