Tuesday, July 8 Tuesday in Tokyo

Wow, what a day we had! We embarked on a half day cultural tour, showing us the must-see sites in Tokyo:




  • The Meiji Jingu Shrine
  • The Imperial Palace
  • Asakusa Sensoji


  • Tokyo is unbelievably beautiful. So much so, I will share our day through pictures:

    Visitors' wishes are displayed at the shrine:

    At the Buddhist Temple, you draw a chopstick, which leads you too a drawer filled with fortunes. 


    If you pull a bad fortune, you tie it here:
    The market at Asakusa, filled with plenty of trinkets:



                                         


    The Imperial Palace:
    This was the first time Dr. Inoue was able to enter this far into the Palace. Truly a beautiful sight
