• Escaping the rain

    March 26, 2017 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

    The rain came today! We had plans to do quite a few outdoorsy things but decided to save these for a much nicer day and instead headed to the museum. What a good museum it was! Not only did it have descriptions in English but also free audio guides as well, both things we have yet to find out our travels! The building was impressively laid out with replica buildings and bridges in place with a vast array of model settlements of the history of Edo becoming Tokyo. They also had some Textiles and Japanese artwork which was interesting becuase we found out that it is created by block printing. We spent most of the day at the museum and could of easily spent more time but we were a bit worn out after reading so much. After the museum we headed to an area where the Sky Tower is which is the tallest broadcasting tower for Tokyo. It was illuminated with pink lights but even still it was hard to see through all the mistake and rain. The mall around the tower was where we spent the evening looking at the weird and wonderful shops, admiring baby turtles at a fish shop and eating crepes and katsu curry. We did well at escaping the rain all day!Read more
