Family Outing in Asakusa



About three weeks after my arrival,
Steven finally came to Japan to join us.

In an ideal world, the four of us would take a trip to Shikoku.
But with no interests in all possible worlds,
our family took a short day trip to Asakusa.

Something light and easy for my aging parents...

From the train, we could see Tokyo Sky Tree.

Too bad it wasn't open to public yet when we were there.
(Then again, I'm not interested in it...)


Suddenly Tokyo Tower wasn't good enough?
I don't really know why we need to have another ginormous tower.

Along with the famous Poop landmark of Asakusa.

Maybe because Asakusa seems too touristic,
we have gone there few times.

So, this time, we tried to see something different.

We went all the way up the tacky gold building next to the Poop.
(Sorry, no pictures worth putting up here...)

We explored the covered arcade a little away from the main street.

We sampled the local cuisine.

Hamburg steak for me and Mommy.
Daddy chose beef curry or something picture-unworthy.

Omerice for Steven.

They were all good.
Very old-timey, very Asakusa even.

But also very expensive...
Especially for this kind of food.
I guess this restaurant is very well-known,
and that's why they can do business like that.

After the late lunch, I wanted to go through "Hoppi-dori".

It's a small street filled with izakaya type places.

The menu and the prices seemed very appealing,
but unfortunately we had just ate.

Next time. Next time.

Meanwhile, the sky was starting to look even more ominous.
The forecast said it was gonna be rainy.
And voilà, it started to rain.

So we left Asakusa.
It was nice to walk around somewhere different with the family.

Apparently, not tired enough,
we decided to go to karaoke060.gif
