After Asakusa

My 2nd day in Japan was spent going from Ebisu (where I was staying) to the fish market, to Asakusa Temple, and then really just roaming around to sight see. I had hoped to see the Imperial Palace and Gardens, but I arrived just as it was closing (note to traveling self--always research ahead of time days and times for all places you want to visit!). I also spent a good part of the day looking for a place I knew Taffy and Junko visited (an architectural gold mine for photography), but I could only recall that the place was somewhere near Tokyo Station (which I did find on my long walk around the city after Asakusa).

The best way to get around the city was by train! Everything was very efficient. I used my Japan Rail pass for a lot of my trains actually (if anyone is traveling to Japan, I HIGHLY recommend this pass).

I have to admit that I have always wanted a good "waiting for the train" photo. You can tell I messed with the editing quite a bit....

But I loved the public transport system. I walked a ton this day!
A great scene - without people! Don't know how you did it! We found it difficult to read the signs - all in Japanese!

Like the yellow leading line and the yellow train.

Your fabulous perspective gives a feeling of speed, racing through the station! I've only been there on a few occasions when Ken was traveling there a lot. I made my way around when he was working and there's always someone who wants to speak English and help out! It's a wonderful place to visit!

Ah, I recognized those yellow lines and bumps. Wonderful placement and view toward infinity.

Love the echoed yellow line between the train and the platform that disappear into the distance.
