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.

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
