Ameyoko Market, Taito, Tokyo, Japan

Ameyayokocho or Ameyoko, is a very busy market street between Okachimachi and Ueno stations along the Yamanote line.  It is both wet and dry market.

We were able to go around this place while finding where to eat tendon tempura for brunch.  It was between 10am and 11am, only a few restaurants opened.  Fresh fish, fruits, rice cakes, dried goods, spices, bags, cosmetics, clothes and shoes are among the various products sold along Ameyoko.  Most of the shops are opened between 10am to 8pm,

Walking on the Las Vegas strip, DAYTIME / December 2016




We had stayed for two nights in Las Vegas at Best Western Casino Royale.  Latter is along the Las Vegas Blvd S and near Venetian.  On our last day, we had spent the morning walking on the strip from our hotel to as far as  Excalibur.  We did not go farther to Mandalay Bay.  Most of the walking tour starts at the site of the  famous sign "Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada",  which is a block away from Mandalay Bay.  The sign is the south end of the strip.  Vegas strip starts at Wynn and the Fashion show mall, 10 minutes on foot to Venetian.

We started the day tour in Arashiyama, located in the western outskirt of Kyoto.  We visited a few of the many this small neighborhood has to offer: The Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryuji Temple and the Bamboo groves.  There are many small shops and restaurants nearby.

Arashiyama is one the most important sightseeing district in Kyoto.  It  is a mountain with an altitude  of 375 meters, filled with temples and shrines.  It is  full of cherry blossoms in spring, covered by red leaves in autumn and cupped with snow in winter
