Akasaka（赤坂） - Meiji Shrine (明治神殿）- Tokyo Tower - Asakusa Kannon Temple（浅草観音寺）/Nakamise Shopping Arcade
1. Meiji Shrine (明治神殿)
This is Japan's most famous Shinto shrine dedicated to the Emperor Meiji and his consort. Our first destination. Quite a big one, and different from Asakusa Temple, this one is very Japanese.

2. Tokyo Tower
Said it's Tokyo Eiffel, 330 meters high in total (taller than Effeil Tower?). We went to the 150 meter main observatory first, looks pretty good, but the weather was not too nice today, or we may be able to see Fuji Mountain:( However, we did enjoy a panoramic view of Tokyo...
Some time left still, so we went up to the 250 meter "special observatory", but quite disappointed because it is still an inside observatory and seems that there is a construction there, so they put something outside, and we could hardly see outside~555555~~~
I still prefer the real Eiffel Tower tho^o^!

3. Asakusa Kannon Temple（浅草観音寺）/Nakamise Shopping Arcade
Asakusa Temple was our last destination for the first-day bus tour. It is the oldest and most popular Buddhist temple in Tokyo. Like most of the temple in China, but this is more Japanese style...Japanese culture is everywhere in the air...we can feel from anything...lol...Also there's a colorful shopping arcade leading to the Asakusa Kannon temple, lined with tiny food and souvenir shops. Really cute, and really crowed too...

OK, done with the tour...went to a noodle place in the main street of Akasaka for dinner--cheap and nice~! So cool! I'm in Tokyo!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!
