Travel in Japan

of the Tokyo Sky Tree while we were meandering around; walking from Asakusa to Kinshicho one fine day last year. You can truly view Tokyo Sky Tree from everywhere and at all angles in Asakusa! Tokyo Sky Tree stands almost twice as tall as Tokyo Tower, a measly 333 metres in height compared to Sky Tree’s 634 metres. Tokyo Sky Tree will replace Tokyo Tower’s role of the signal broadcasting tower.

A post inspired by Rurousha’s very interesting snippet about one particular rat-like boy(?) which is one of the many colourful statues that one can find in the street near Sensoji in Asakusa. Also, if you want to know the meaning of the word on the title, you’d have to read the comment section of

Cold and raw the north wind doth blow Bleak in the morning early All the hills covered with snow And winter’s come now fairly Still very, very cold in Tokyo?

Read my previous “On The Run” post too after finishing this. I had Yokohama and Yufuin posted up earlier.
