On my first morning in Japan I jumped on the Ginza subway line and headed to Asakusa with no real agenda in mind.
Popping out near the Sumida River I took a quick walk along Kasenjiki Park trying to stay in the shade to protect myself from the already blisteringly hot sun.
When the heat became too much I had a quick look to see what restaurants there were locally and a tonkatsu restaurant called Tonkatsu Toyama caught my eye.

Japan has a knack for good chain cafes.
In Ueno I was lucky enough to have a Doutor next to my hotel so this was my goto place when starting my day.

I like the InterContinental Tokyo hotel. This was my 5th stay at the hotel having stayed here in 2015, 2016, 2017 and at the start of this trip before I headed to Toyama.
