Tokyo, Japan May 1, 2016 This morning we took a tour on a couple of routes of the Sky Hop Bus for an overview of the sights. We hopped off near Tsukiji Fish Market to have a look but it was closed due to Golden Week. We walked on into Ginza and were amazed to find most of the streets closed to traffic.... Presumably also because of Golden Week. The streets were taken over with pedestrians though.
