today, for our japan in asia class, we went to ueno --> walked to asakusa --> took boat to hamamatsucho --> took mrt to shinjuku.
so first up, asakusa!
we started from ueno and walked to asakusa. along the street, there was a lot of shops selling ancestral tablets and things related to people who have passed on.

then there's a street with a lot of food stuff, where you can immediately set up a food business by buying everything you need there.

there are soooo many things there but we are only allowed 20 minutes to walk around. kinda sucks but i managed to look at a lot of stuff, tried some food and ate a sweet potato flavoured ice cream.
