Lost in Asakusa
I’m now lying in my bunk bed at K’s House Tokyo in Asakusa. We just reached Tokyo this morning after an overnight transit flight via Bangkok.
After leaving our luggage at the hostel, the group of us proceeded to take a long walk (longer than it should be due to various detours) to Akihabara. Pictures after the break.
Photos are in chronological order. (More or less.)

Bandai’s headquarters used to be in Asakusa and they still maintain a presence here in the form of two office buildings. We happened to pass by them during our after-dinner stoll. May drop by again later during office hours to look at their showcases.
As for the title of this post: we lost our way for 15 minutes or so during our little night stroll. It was an interesting experience…
Heading to Tsukiji fish market in the morning tomorrow.
