1. Tokyo Tower
Introduced to our guide Haruko- " but you can call me Harry, like Harry Potter"
2. Happo-en Garden for a traditional tea ceremony.
The 20th of March marks the spring equinox and is considered a day of good fortune, as a result there were plenty of weddings to be had in some of the more traditional gardens we visited.
Tootsies- Mr & Mrs
Koi
The honoured guest who is served first is the one seated nearest to the alcove- this came as a surprise to this man!
A more westernised wedding
Our first glimpse of a few blossums, pretty sure they weren't cherry blossoms but still pretty nevertheless.
3. Our BBQ lunch at Chinzan- So.
The grills are created out of molten lava from Mt Fuji and the ladies who served us were so gracious. Everything was cooked to perfection, including the weird yam- delicous! Oishii!
Sampled some sake and attemped to converse with the Italian couple sitting next to me. Now know how to say cheers in three languages...
4. Imperial Palace
5. Sumida River cruise
and speculating what the heck the golden carrot was...
Turns out the main gold building is owned by a beer company...do you see it now? As for the other, it is not Bugs Bunny's headquarters but rather a flame.
6.Asakusa- Sendo-ji Temple and Nakamise St
Our guide Harry explaining how to get your fortune in the temple
Practicing his martial arts moves in the parking lot...and later on his brother!
Back to Shibuya again. I asked a young lady here for directions to a certain store and she actually walked me all the way there- I couldn't believe how out of the way the people here go to help you.
