    Tokyo and Tsumago (by Andrew)

    March 21, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

    We went to Tokyo, and Uncle Mike came to visit. We got to go to Teamlabs with Uncle Mike. Teamlabs is an interactive art exhibit. In Teamlabs, the first part is walking in water uphill. The water is very shallow so little kids can go in the water. There are more water areas that are deeper than the first one which are about a foot to a foot and a half deep. People 3 years old and under should not go in the deeper water. After Uncle Mike left, we went to Tsumago. We hiked 3/200 or 1.5% of the old samurai path, called the Nakasendo path. At our ryokan (old Japanese hotel) in Tsumago there were onsens. Onsens are hot baths and I loved them. Tokyo and Tsumago were super fun and Uncle Mike made it more fun.Read more
