We checked out of our hotel in Akasaka and checked into a Japanese Ryokan in another part of the city called Asakusa. The hotel in Akasaka felt a little generic - like we could have been in any city. Asakusa feels much more like being in another country. There were loads of tourists on the streets, but locals go there too. There's a long shopping street (picture on right) with store after store, jam packed with local food and souvenirs. The street leads to Sensoji (Asakusa Kannon Temple. picture on left). We did a little shopping there. Its a great people -watching place too. We kinda wished we had been there all week.
