Continuing from my last post on Asakusa, this post will be about my adventure at the Tokyo Skytree tower. As I have mentioned before, the Skytree tower is really close by Asakusa and you can always walk there instead of taking the train. And I'd recommend walking because it saves money and you also get to see and explore the area. I walked there in about 20 minutes and I didn't even use Google map GPS to guide me. I basically just walked in the direction of the Skytree tower and I got there without any problems!
I walked across the Sumida River and passed the Asahi Beer Tower and also came across the famous Kani Doraku (かに道楽) restaurant with the iconic moving crab!
Under the Skytree tower, there is a shopping mall called "Tokyo Solamachi" where there are over 100 different shops and restaurants. There is also a small aquarium as well. I didn't get to shop much at the mall because I spent most of my time up on the Skytree Tower so by the time I finally came down from it, it was already nearly 8pm and the shops at the mall closes at 9pm.
