Day & night Tokyo is fantastic.

Asakusa Shibuya Tokyo Japan

Asakusa Shibuya Tokyo Japan come alive at night as does most of this great city. The lights, the restaurants, the bars, there is so much to do and see in Tokyo. Above is a busy arcade at Asakusa.

Early evening & the crowd is building.

A slow build up however the crowds will come.

A little hole in the wall for dinner.

A typical small Tokyo restaurant.

Delicious Yakitori

My favourite Japanese cuisine, as you probably know by now.

Wet night in Shibuya

My last night in Tokyo tomorrow I take the Shinkansen to Sendai.

Shibuya is about 45 minutes from Asakusa

A direct ride on the Ginza line.

Time for dinner.

So many restaurants to choose from, there must be 5,000 restaurants in Asakusa Shibuya Tokyo Japan.

Soup & dumplings.

Both delicious.

Starbucks in Shibuya overlooks the famous Shibuya scramble.

A terrific building in Asakusa. Many thanks for visiting my Asakusa Shibuya Tokyo Japan photo blog.

This Buddhist Temple is the cities oldest temple. Senso-ji is the most widely visited spiritual site in the world with over 30 million visitors annually. The temple was completed in the year 645, making it Tokyo‘s oldest temple.

Tawaramachi Station

I stayed at the Agora Place hotel which was a wonderful location close to 3 metro stations Tawaramachi, Ueno & Asakusa. You can get an express train direct from Narita & you can catch the Shinkansen from Ueno. Book through THIS LINK for an excellent room rate
