Located in Asakusa, this is one of the most beautiful temples I saw in the city. The surroundings were busy, with a market-like street leading up to it, and it had a heap of other religious buildings around it. Founded in 625CE, it's also the oldest temple in Tokyo.

At first I was super intimidated by all the bells and whistles, but I've learnt to love a warmed toilet seat, and the calming sounds they make are quite comforting. I haven't quite tried the splashing functions, but I've heard they can be kinda nice??

The technology district. There is a whole street of shops, all selling anything you could picture a video game obsessed boy ever wanting - from consoles, to body pillows with anime girls on them, it's a super weird, but pretty fun place to explore!

They seem to have Japanese Koi everywhere! They are huge, and actually very very pretty.

This massive place has been selling fish since 1657 (excluding a few months after a couple of major earthquakes) and is completely crazy busy. There are hundreds of stalls with millions of fish and seafood items brought in and sold every single day!

Unlike the photobooths in Australia, the ones here can "fix your eyes, skin and parts", whatever that means... (I particularly like the red lipstick on Sean)

One of the most serene gardens beside some of the most chaotic streets. Built in 1912 to commemorate the old Emperor and Emperoress, it's surrounded by gardens on all sides.

Popularised in western culture by Gwen Stefani, this whole street was unbelievably girly. We didn't know how to get there, so we literally followed a girl wearing bunny ears, a pastel pink dress, fake eyelashes and knee high stockings to find the place.

The story of Hachiko, the dog, is one I have heard lots of times. It's about a faithful dog, who every day walked with his owner to the train station, and waited for him to come back. One day, his owner passed away, and Hachiko still waited there for him, and continued to come back each day for years. He is now immortalised in bronze at the station.

Unfortunately, the Tuna Auctions were closed the day we went as it is the busy time of year, but the sheer number of tuna fish being processed and sold at the market alone was mind boggling! They are some seriously huge fish, and at around a million dollars a head, that's and expensive fish right there!

Everything I imagined about Tokyo is pretty well summed up in this photo. It was bright lights, tall buildings, and lots and lots of people! It was truly a beautiful sight to see, especially at night.

The happiest place on earth. Easily.

With a name almost as big as the building itself, this was an amazing FREE way to see the whole city from above.

Robots, Girls, Costumes, Glitz and Glam - Japan is known for being a bit weird, and this certainly was!

There are temples and shrines in parks all over the city in Tokyo. Anywhere green on a map will almost certainly contain a beautiful garden, and an amazing shrine or temple.

Unlike any zoo I've been to in Australia, this zoo, tucked away in a park, surrounded by busy city streets had all sorts of animals on display, close enough to actually see. While some of the enclosures looked a tad small, they all seemed well-fed and cared for!
