Oh wait.... Yes, I think I got taken there by the knitting circle I
attend, a couplathree years ago. Forgotten about it completely. Yes,
that would've been a good choice. And the museum sounds fascinating too
(to me, anyway, but would assorted gaigin with no knowledge of Tokyo's
past be so fascinated, I wonder?). Could probably get there by one of
the water buses, which is interesting in itself.
