Walk with me: Asakusa to Kappabashi Sunday October 11, 2020
The sun was a little bit shy… and it looked like rain any moment then. But I needed to go out and buy a new pot, and a frying pan, again. I had burnt a frying pan – the second one in five months! I really must drop everything and be all eyes on my cooking next time. Sigh! If you’re in the restaurant business, or a serious stay-home housewife, you would know where to go for your kitchenware, dinnerware needs. Kappabashi, where else? I’m neither, but I was looking for cheap and didn’t mind the long walk to get what I wanted! So, despite the lousy weather, I stepped out and headed for Asakusa, and walked to Kappabashi! I haven’t been taking public transportation – not as often as before. I work from home now, like more than half of the working population in Tokyo, probably. And, I needed the exercise, and was excited to find out if I could beat the last reading on the pedometer app on my IPhone! Just a few shops are open on Sundays, as I realized that day.

But, voila! Exactly the place I was looking for! Got my pot and pan so quickly! There’s more to see along this street! If there were more shops open, I just know I could spend hours and hours here!
