This is still day 2

More photos of the amusement park and around Asakusa. Above is a beheaded samurai in the animatronic Ghost Mansion at the amusement park, which was actually rather terrifying.

This was in the tourist info in Asakusa. It's a model of Tokyo.

So I took this picture of the odd sculpture on the building. Apparently it is the subject of some ridicule.

However, upon further inspection, there is all sorts of Japanese goodness in this photo. That small building on the left, with the nice colors and mousey cartoon characters, is actually some sort of police hut.

Also, look at that blue sign...

Loved this intersection.
Some streets with Izakaya restaurants.
This is Tokyo Skytree that just opened and is pretty amazing looking.

Still Lost

Second day in Tokyo. This is mostly Asakusa and a small, kind of decrepit amusement park near Asakusa.
Definitely felt like Japan here.
This is the amusement park, I think it was the one shown briefly in Enter the Void. I would recommend a visit here while in Tokyo. There are these weird animatronic pandas you can ride, a surprisingly scary Ghost Mansion, and let me just say the Surprise House is indeed, very surprising.
