Hey everyone!
We went to Tokyo in July.
It was probably the hottest week of the year with temps in the upper 90s and VERY humid!
These trees are beautiful but as you can see they don't provide much shade!
So pretty!
The view across from the palace grounds is pretty cool! The palace grounds were about the only big open space that we saw the whole time we were there!
This cool shrine was actually not too far from our hotel.
I don't look too happy in this picture, but it's just because it's so hot!
Here's Tim with the empty sake jugs!
Another monkey!
More of the shrine!
The view from the top of the shrine down the side entry.
Back up the same stairs.
That evening I stayed at the hotel with a headache and watched some American tv shows on Fox Japan while Tim went to Akihabara, the electronics district.
But by the time he got there most of the stores were closed already.... This is the only picture he got.
The next day we went to Yokohama which was really wonderful. The air on the ocean was really wonderful and it rained a good portion of the day which really helped with the heat and humidity.
After hanging out at the boardwalk for a while we went to China Town!
After China Town we headed back to the pier to see the city lights at night before catching the train back to our hotel.
We went a few other places later in the week, a few historic sites and the Tokyo National Museum.
We took the bullet train home and saw something cool... MOUNT FUJI! It's behind those clouds... but it looked pretty impressive in person, even though this is a pretty bad picture!
Hope you all enjoyed the pictures!
