Our Walk Continues / 散歩のつづき

Just in case you didn't read the previous post, we were walking around Roppongi Hills and the Tokyo Tower.

前のポストを読んでなかれば、今回の散歩道は六本木ヒルズと東京タワーの周り。

As its Christmas season, there were holiday illuminations at the base of the tower but as it was still light outside, it didn't make for a good picture.

今はクリスマスの季節なので、東京タワーの下のほうにもイルミネーションもありました。でもまだ明るすぎて、写真撮るのはを辞めた。

Also at the base, is a small monument to the sled dogs that a couple of Antarctic explorers had to leaver behind, they were the inspiration for the Hollywood movie "Eight Below".


あと東京タワーの下にあるのは、南極で残された犬たちの懸念日。




The next area we walked around was the Zojoji Temple and Shiba Park

次歩き回ったのは東京タワーの近くにある増上寺と芝公園。


I just love the contrast of the temple and the tower.

増上寺の隣に東京タワー、このコントラスト良いね。

And we finally ended our walk at Shinbashi Station's SL Plaza.
