Day 6: Ueno & Asakusa

First Stop: Ueno Park









Ground sheets are placed to mark the territory reserved by party revelers. A representative in the office would be there early to reserve a place and wait till colleagues knock off after work to join in.




Status of the Imperial Prince Komatsunomiya Akihito.

The pond will be filled with lotus during summer but now it's filled with dried stems.




The tiny white tubs on top of the perfumes are samples for sniffing.



Second Stop: Asakusa



Craving of dragon under the Kaminarimon Lantern.






The Sensoji main hall is currently under renovation and covered by scaffolding. But we still get to visit the interior of the main hall.




Free shuttle bus services.

Asahi Breweries Headquarters in Sumida. The tadpole-like structure which is known as the Asahi flame was created by Philippe Starck in 1989.

Tokyo Sky Tree to be completed by Spring 2012.



A little girl skipped her way into my viewfinder.

Back to hotel in time to catch the sun setting over Shinjuku.
