Today we visited the oldest temple in Japan - the Senso-ji - just a short walk from our hostel in Asakusa.

It was really hot so after our wander around Asakusa we went back to the hostel for a rest and to do some planning/hostel booking.

This evening we went up the Tokyo Tower.  The tower is 333m tall and based on the Eiffel tower.  We had some amazing views over Tokyo from the observation deck.  It’s quite strange, from above Tokyo looks very like the postcard image I imagined but when you are wandering around the streets it doesn’t feel like the huge metropolis that it is and more like a small town with lots of cute little houses.
