39 Degrees in Steamy Yanaka
Wedged in between Nippori, Sendagi, and Nezu lies the old part of town of Yanaka. Filled with old homes, many temples, and lots of shoe-boxed sized stores. Since Japan is in the middle of the Obon season, about 70% or everything was shuttered, including the museum I wanted to see.
The mercury hit a high of 39 (102 Fahrenheit) degrees celsius. I could feel the heat bouncing off the pavent, the and the tin covered houses. While on the street the heat could not be avoided.
I did see some interesting places full of character, that will be explored at a later date.
