Enjoying the atmosphere of Tokyo’s old downtown area

Today, I guided two women from the United States around Tokyo’s downtown area. First, we went to Tsukiji Fish Market from the hotel in Ikebukuro. We strolled around the fish market looking at the seafood and vegetables, bought some sushi to take home, and then went to Ginza. We bought some sandwiches and other snacks in the basement of a department store in Ginza, and then went up to the rooftop of the department store. We had a light meal of sushi bought in Tsukiji and bread bought at the department store.

After that, we bought knives and other items at Kappabashi Shopping Street, and then visited Sensoji Temple. After Sensoji Temple, we took a leisurely stroll around the calm Yanaka area in the evening before heading home.
