The newest major addition since I've been gone is Tokyo Skytree - here framed with the (in)famous Asahi Golden Turd (sometimes called a Golden Imo/Sweet Potato). Asahi, on whose headquarters it sits, claims it represents beer foam, but no one has really bought that since the thing was built.
It was also a time to see Nakamise Dori behind Kaminorimon almost empty, as well as adjoining malls/covered alleys..
Today we are taking Marie' to one of our favorite places, Takao San, a mountain topped by a shrine we used to climb when we lived here. The countryside of Tokyo. That will be later today, provided we don't melt in the sweat..
