After rising early this morning, Denise Santos, her son Aiden and I headed to the local Denny's restaurant in Asakusa for breakfast. Denny's was a short walk from our hotel.

Following breakfast, we then wandered around Nakamise Street and Sensoji temple. Since most of the shops at Nakamise Street weren't open yet, we decided to head over to the Tokyo Sky Tree to go up to the viewing level.

To say that the views of Tokyo from the Sky Tree were spectacular, it would still be an understatement.

Here's some photos of the views:
