Asakusa and Kabuki!!!!

My sister and I started our holiday by visiting the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Friday. There was a big crowd on the day we choose to have our tour. Thankfully i have booked it early online.
Definitely a place to go especially when you consider that it is free and the place is so beautiful and serene!! Unfortunately the sakura has not blossom at this stage and we only saw the buds of sakura.

The second picture above was taken at Asakusa near the temple and the row of stalls. Thank goodness this is the second day and my sister was thinking of logistic problem of lugging around shopping bags to Kyoto and Osaka. We managed some restraint and only bought some Daifukus as well as cute key chains!!

The first picture is taken in Kabuki - za, a kabuki theatre near the Higashi Ginza subway exit.
We actually came here on Saturday night only to find out the timetable i copied a several weeks ago have changed and we missed the last act. So we make our way again on Sunday morning to watch kabuki for an hour as it would take us half a day if we choose to sit for the whole show!!
It is pretty slow for me but my sister seems to enjoy it very much. Nevertheless it was interesting and the costumes alone made it worth watching!!

More postings to come on my holiday!! Please do not get too tired of it : )
