Exploring Asakusa in One Day

Exploring Asakusa in One Day, Tokyo, Japan

Today 12th October 2015 is my 41th years survival on earth! Happy Birthday to me and Thank you Mum and Dad for bringing me to this world.

Purposely wait for 12th Oct 2015 to post my Japan travel diary. I suppose to fly to Japan on 10th Oct 2015 but things need to push forward due to unforeseen circumstances.

I arrived at Narita around 3:00pm the took Keisei Line direct from Narita to Asakusa. I took Keisei Main Line cost me 1100 yen for one way journey. I just need to transfer at Aoto Station and the journey took me about 80 minutes. Many stops along the way.

I only find my way to my hotel after almost an hour wondering around to find way. WTH! isk isk isk ..It was drizzling, dark , tired and hungry. huhuhuhuhu...Omma!!!! I was lost at foreign country. Lucky found the tourist information counter. If not....huhuhuhuh don't know how to imagine.

I say beautiful 'sky tree' tower but too tired to snap photo. It was so beautiful sight at that moment! In my mind, I just want to get a warm shower and sleep. WTH!

Thank God! the hotel I stayed is somewhere around Sensoji Temple the main attraction at Asakusa. Super convenient! 10 minutes walk! Everything is within walking distance and if I get lost...as usual eheh! I can just asked people around. They are more than willing to help. Yes! they converse in Japanese and I speak English to them. Of course sign language play bigger role to understand each other. Oh! don't forget to smile. Who can resist my 'sweet smile'? hahahaha...*face palm* ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
