Day 11 - Travelling onwards to Tokyo, Japan (Asakusa district)

Left the Astoria Hotel in Seoul and arrived at Tokyo Narita airport safely but after a miserable meal on United Airlines- must avoid in future.  We then caught the Narita Express to Tokyo station and then a taxi to the Dormy Inn in the Asakusa district. The room was small but very functional with a great view over the Sumidagawa River and of the Asahi brewery building with the strangest giant golden vegetable on top of it. The Sky Tree Tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Skytree, which is beautifully light at night is in full view from our bedbroom window.. We checked in, washed and were pleased to be told that breakfast was included and that there was free wifi and ‘Night Singing Noodle’s at 21.30.  We walked along the river bank and across the river Ento listen to listen to a pop group playing in an outside arena and have couple of beers and chicken and potato.  After the live entertainment ended we walked along the main street and some back streets enjoying the bustle of the crowds and planning where to go next day.  We were back by 22.00 for singing noodles- very tasty- before bed.  Looked out from our balcony at the amazing site across the river- see photos – before shut-eye at mid night.
