Tour photos from January 16, 2018

Hello, travelers. This is Kumi. Picturesque Japan Blog welcomes you to Tokyo.


We started our tour from Hama Rikyu.

Admission: 300 yen

You can enter the tea house and enjoy matcha (green tea). To enter the tea house, we need to take off our shoes. She seemed really impressed with these old-fashioned shoe boxes.



This is the tea and the cake we can get here (I forgot to take the photo, so this is from the other day). :P



He is really passionate about photography, so we talked a lot about it during the tour.


To your surprise, the water here is actually sea water! They regulate the water level by this old weir.



From Hama Rikyu, we took a sightseeing boat to Asakusa. We saw many old and new bridges. It was like a museum of bridges.

We went up to the 8th floor of the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center to enjoy the view of Nakamise Shopping Street.


Okay. Now, let's walk through!


This is an incense burner. The smoke is believed to have healing power.


Hmm. I love the view from here.


Somehow, white carps looked shining blue because of the water and the sun.


Old and new. The Tokyo Sky Tree looks like an illusion.


They are such a sweet couple!!!


We enjoyed casual sushi.


Then we visited Odaiba by subway and Yurikamome line.


Odaiba (Daiba) means places to set cannon batteries. If you want to know more about the history, please check this out.

It was lovely spending time with them. :)


After saying goodbye to this cute couple, I spent some time to take the photos of the Rainbow Bridge.
