After we left our bags at the hostel we went out for a little walk in Asakusa.
It is Sakura season so we there were pink blossoms everywhere.
It is a custom in Japan to go to the park and sit under the trees, eating and drinking. While walking in the park a nice old man told us to go down a pair off stairs and go inside a gallery. There was an art exhibit from the locale senior old club. It was pretty good for amateurs. And when we left they gave us some candy
.
Afterward we went to the temple complex in Asakusa. It’s the largest in Tokyo but it was under restoration.

And here we are back again in good old Tokyo. The flight went fine though I only slept for a hour and a half. We arrived this morning around 10h30. After getting our railpasses and my rental mobil phone we were off to the big town. We got a bit lost along the way in the maze that is the tokyo train and metro system. But after getting some help from a lovely native young woman we were on our way to the hostel (and yes I asked directions in japanese). After dropping of our luggage we went for a little walk. Details and photos of that walk will follow later. Now we are back at the hostel and going to get a bit of shut eye before we meet up with some local friends.
