Leaving off from Kamakura the next stop was Asakusa. Given it was a public holiday during Golden Week the crowds were huge, hence the large crowds and slow movement through the streets.

One of the main attractions in my visit to Japan is a stop in Nikko. For those not familiar with Japanese history this is the locaction of Tokugawa Ieyasu's Mausoleum. Beyond that Nikko is just a beautiful place to visit.

A quick Shinkansen to Osaka for the second half of my Japan trip.

Osaka has one of the worlds largest aquariums. I was suprised how much I liked it. The largest tank holds a Whale Shark! That is impressive.
