Bridges of Tokyo 12

Bridges of Tokyo 12

Like the tourbooks advise, take the Sumida river cruise, which passes under the 12 different coloured bridges on the river.

We took it at twilight, which is a great time to do it as you can still see the city but the bridges are starting to light up.

The tour ends in Asakusa, which has the strange Super-Dry building and various temples.

Sun sets on the river and the double decker bridges

The Asahi Super Dry building, in Asakusa.  They wanted something different to represent their beer.  Some call it the sperm, which may not be what they wanted
