Waking Up in Oshiage District

October 20th 2024

OSHIAGE DISTRICT

Oshiage is a district of Sumida Ward in the east of Tokyo. Oshiage Station is a major interchange station

with the

Keisei Oshiage Line, the Tōbu Isesaki Line. This neighborhood in Tokyo was a center of

commerce and activity long before the existence of the world's tallest telecom tower, Tokyo Sky Tree.

The flowers + plants on every block when taking back streets or alleys where always such a pleasure to encounter.

The comfort sign that we will be happy to see every time.

I ran back to the kawaii shop from last night to get her!

This is the little canned cake from the vending machine mentioned in the previous entry!

Walking around at night.

We actually ended up going around the corner of our hotel to a small local sushi restaurant where our vocabulary, and etiquete where put on test.

Table manner #1 As you see here Chris is pouring sake into my cup. One must not pour sake into their own cup. After the photo I went ahead and served him sake.

The owners of the restaurant where so kind to us. He called Chris a rock star and as we headed out he yelled “HEY….take it easy ^_^” and gave us a thumbs up. I. hope to see them again on our next trip!
