Had a wander around Tokyo, photo 1 is by Asakusa Kannon Temple, photos 2 and 3 are at the temple.
There were lots of vibrant colours and clothing around. |

Got up at 2.50am to queue for a look at the tuna auction in the Tsukiji Fish market.
Only 120 people can get in each day so you need to be early. Had to wait until 5.20am to get inside and you only get about 20 to 25 minutes in there. We had some sushi afterwards of course.
