Akasaka

We went over to Akasaka this past weekend. Akasaka is famous for its temple, which I believe is a place to pray for commerce. Past the bridge over Sumida river is the Asahi Beer building with a famous structure on its roof that people like to refer as the golden sh*t.

The Asahi Beer building up ahead; Asahi has both the building with the strange sculpture and the building to the left of it, which is supposed to represent the gold of the beer and the foam head on top.
Me on the bridge over Sumida River. My gf had a kick out of positioning the shot so the sh*t would be over my head.

A waterbus or whatever it was.
