Tokyo - Day Three Tokyo Travel

We took off on our own today to see the town. It's raining pretty heavy and not the best photography day. We walk through Asakusa to discover some covered shopping street and indoor shopping areas. 

The JR Yamanote Line is an above ground train that encircles the city of Tokyo. It takes about 1 hour to make the complete circle with plenty of stops in local areas of the city. We grabbed the Ginza (G19) line from Asakusa to connect at Ueon (G16). The Pasmo transit card is a life saver for traveling since the trains area actually operated by different companies. The Pasmo provides for seamless train hopping. In preparation for the 2020 Olympics - Tokyo is adding languages including English to more and more signs and systems. 

Thank goodness for google maps and my portable wifi hotspot. It makes getting around the city so much easier.
