The easiest way to get there is the Oedo-sen (Kiyosumi-Shirakawa > Station) or the bus from Monzen-Nakacho. 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. ________________________________________________________________________ Louise Bremner (log at gol dot com) If you want a reply by e-mail, don't write to my Yahoo address!
