First Morning in Tokyo in a Decade

Sumida River near Asakusa

Finally made it to Tokyo and my first morning walk in what is already a steamy late Summer day. Our first stop is in Asakusa area, not too far from Kaminarimon and the Sumida River, where I took my walk this morning. I share the riverside with a number of other walkers and runner, all of us trying to avoid the massive amounts of sweat we expect as the heat heads towards 85 F/90% humidity.
