Metro over to Tokyo tower 🗼, impressive site. Stopped for a banana, caramel and cream crepe ( need to keep up the calorie load post cruise )
Special treat from Mike, first for everyone; a digital art museum, displaying variety of shapes, aromas and 3d light show in a selection of ‘rooms’ truly amazing.
Rather soggy trip to the famous ‘scramble crossing’ and dog statue ( waiting for his owner who died whilst at work and never returned). Popped up for a hot chocolate from 8th floorRead more
Legs flagging a bit, weather cleared up a lot, now quite humid. Walk around the extensive park, with the very large tori gate. Mike got another stamp for his book, only 1993 to go….. then trek backRead more
Final night after a hectic day….shopped and walked out….. 19,292 steps! View of cocoon tower and beyond….. amazing. Aches soothed by booze, all reflected on a memorable trip. Mike was presentedRead more
Early start picked up, 40min trip to Haneda….ready for the long hike home. Tried to use our final yen in the ubiquitous vending machine….. Linda bought some tasty lemon chewy sweets.
