The image I had of Tokyo before I went there was like Shibuya. I was happy to find that Tokyo isn’t ALL like that!

That part of Tokyo is certainly bustling. On our way to a museum, we ended up in a quieter part of town. I’m not quite sure where we were, but I also made note of how it showed a calmer side of the big city. Yanaka sounds very interesting, and I do like that painting that you photographed.

People were very polite in Tokyo: no pushing or rudeness of any kind. It was just too much sensory stimulation after a while: the noise level and signage and lights all over the buildings. Yanaka was a welcome break.

After days of walking thru the multitudes, I had to escape. I crossed the river and was able to find areas where I was able to eat and shop without being pushed or stepped over. Thanks for sharing your Tokyo finding.
