Catch the JR Yamanote line to the "Nippori" station (from Asakusa, from memory, you can take the Ginza line to Ueno, then change there to the Yamanote line). Go out the South exit and you will see a big sign (in English and in Japanese). Following the arrow, go down the stairs, cross the road and follow the street around to the left. Then just head down that road. You'll see flags along the street saying "Nippori Textile Town." In the area, Tomato is the largest but I also like some of the stores close by.<BR/><BR/>Have fun!Melanie Gray Augustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531718674624846409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32932797.post-84920565542127805802008-09-04T02:55:00.000+10:002008-09-04T02:55:00.000+10:00What a beautiful sight!
