The pond in Kitanomura Park. The northernmost part of the wider palace and former Edo Castle grounds. It's fully open to the public and a very nice and relaxing place.

A bit nearer now, with the second bridge, Nijūbashi, leading to the residence proper, now visible as well.

The huge free area in front of the Kōkyo, the Imperial Palace in the middle of Tokyo. With the Seimon Ishibashi bridge, that leads over the moat to the main gate of the actual residence.

View towards north with the Sumidagawa and Arakawa. Adachi behind the latter in the middle of the picture. The weather really was getting better at this point and our patience was rewarded with an increasingly impressive view.
However at this point I was already suffering from slight sea-sickness. Interestingly enough it wasn't the height that troubled me, even though I don't really have a head for it. It was the very slight movements of the tower in the wind. Too minor to be felt consciously, but they are constantly there. And if you're not used to it, you'll start to feel it with time.

Before was the view towards the east and Shinjuku, now it's south-east with the Tokyo Tower in Minato, Roppongi and Shibuya to the right of it and Yokohama just visible to the left in the background. Still very hazy.

View from the lower observation deck of the Skytree towards Shinjuku and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building. With various other famous buildings to be seen, including Tokyo Dome to the right. Unfortunately the weather, as often in Tokyo, was rather hazy and only got better shortly before we went back down.

The aforementioned headquarters of Asahi Breweries and the Sumidagawa as seen from the lower observation deck of the Skytree. Lower in this case meaning at 350 meters above ground level. The roof of the Kaminarimon is somewhat visible on the upper right edge of the picture, next to the crossroads with x-shaped zebra crossings. And on the river bank just at the bridge leading towards the Asahi headquarters you can see the Asakusa station and pier of Tokyo Cruise Ship, which we travelled from on a later day.

From Asakusa, it's only a stone's throw to the "Musashi", the Tokyo Skytree. We walked the distance, passing the Asahi Breweries headquarter with its distinct flame on the way there. And a small residential neighbourhood with narrow roads, small buildings and a rather relaxed and very quiet atmosphere only a few steps away from big industry, motorways and some of the major tourist attractions of Tokyo.

A view back from the first few shops southwards towards the Kaminarimon. Yes, it was that crowded the whole time we were there. And that was on a weekday. We noticed quite a lot of students visiting with their classes among the crowd.

The Hōzōmon, forming the other end of the shopping lane and the entrance to the central area of the Sensō-ji. To the left and right there are side buildings, temple gardens and small compounds to sit and rest. And eat or drink something, there are several shops for various tasty treats between the two gates.
