There's Temples in Them There Suburbs

Using satellite technology and my bloodhound nose - actually reading the excellent free tourist association map - we spent an exhausting, walking-wise, afternoon trawling the Yanaka districts and found (not that they were lost) 16 temples. Narrow streets and alleys with typical homes along the way made such a change from the sky-towers we saw of yesterday.

The morning was no less tiring wandering the Yushima district looking for gardens and shrines. Found one and gave up on two.

The afternoon was followed by a 47th floor view of the city from Dentsu building in the Shimbashi district.

Don't you love a well run public transport system - one hour you're in one part of the city and next, you're in another. I wonder if the idea will ever catch on in Sydney? Nah, it takes both the will to do it and the cultural ability. Oops! Is that a sedition? Moving along (quietly) ....

The day ended with, yes you guessed it, a supermarket raid!
