I went to Mori Art museum at Roppongi Hills on my day off. It was because there was a photo exhibition took place and also I wanted to see an exhibion of The Turner Prize. To be honest that I know nothing about art, but the exhibition was totally hit me. it was incredible.
“The Turner Prize” is one of the most significant awards in the world of contemporary art,
The most impressive work, as far as I'm concerned, was the object which contains of a mother cow and a calf with formalin preservaion separately, but their bodies were split in half!!! also, you can actually go though between one part of mother's body and the other's and see how their body were consisted.
Most of the works were affected by the social problems around that time.
Strongly recommended!

Also, there is an observation deck on the 52th floor and you can see the wonderful view around Tokyo from 250m above sea level.

Admission fee is included art museum + observation deck+ sky deck. 1500yen for adult.

Sanja Festival was held on the 16th, 17th and 18th May. People celebrate the three gods of Asakusa Shrine. It is one of the greatest festivals in entire Tokyo. About 1.5 milion pleople come around to enjoy the festival every year. The most exciting moment during the festival could be more than 100 portable shrines, called "mikoshi" are carried through the old city Asakusa in an enormous procession. Apparently, a "mikoshi" is an ornate palanquin-like portable shrine in which the ghost or spirit of a Shinto shrine deity is believed to ride.
Lots of people ,who carry the mikoshi, are in the special costume, called "Hanten" , "Harakake" and "Hachimaki " tied around on their heads. (See the pics. ) You can feel frenzied atmosphere, also it is tremendously impressive!! Worth to visiting. If you missed it out this time. Why don't you joining them next year :D!!
