Tokyo Scenery

The husband and I have just come back from a week in Tokyo, and while I'm sorting out the photos from the multiple food adventures, here's some photos showing the scenery - it was sakura season and we managed to catch the best of full bloom, right after the typhoon hit!

Canal at Naka-Meguro

Chidorigafuchi, northern moat of the Imperial Palace. Accessed via exit 2 of the Kudanshita subway station.

Yes, we rowed a boat too!

Yasukuni Shrine - maybe (just maybe) I can understand why Koizumi kept going there.

Lake Kawaguchi, or Kawaguchiko in Japanese - One of the Fuji Five Lakes, accessed via the Chuo Line from Shinjuku Station, with a change at Otsuki for the Fuji Kyuko Line.

The foodie pictures will follow, as soon as I sort them out : )
