The city shot is from our hotel window. It's amazing to me to see the sprawl of the city. We walked around Tokyo quite a bit; saw the Rodeo Drive/Michigan Avenue/Park Avenue type area; the business district with all the banks, etc.; the Emperor's Palace & the Meiji Shrine. The picture with the 4 of us is outside the Emperor's Palace. There is a close-up of one of the guard houses. Even though commoners are not allowed within the Palace gates, we discovered that to even get that far one would have to swim through 2 motes, climb 2 walls & shimmy across an open field all without being seen by the guards. Now if J&C were ninjas.... we're sure they could do it no problem. We lunched at a little spot by the train station. It wasn't quite bento box lunch as the meat was presented separately than all the sides. Hopefully you can see from the picture the emphasis on presentation. Everything has it's own little dish. Each dish is different yet they all compliment each other. The last picture is of one of the gates entering the Meiji Temple. It's another shrine for peace & prosperity. I'm on the left side in yellow & Chris on the right in orange. Gives you some perspective of just how big the gate is.
