First Full Day in Tokyo






Wow, after looking through the photos from our first day in Tokyo I think I'm going to have to add this day in to parts I am a little amazed that we managed to get so much done in one short day. We started the day with a long lie in. The beds at the New Sanno are so warm and lush it was great to be able to spend a couple of extra hours in bed before we headed out for the day. Upon making it out of the room and onto the ground floor we headed out for breakfast and had a wonderful breakfast buffet, keeping our tummies full for the rest of the day. Our first stop was to one of the larger shrines in Tokyo The Meijing Shrine. We happened upon it on a great day and where able to see three wedding processions, who would have guessed that so many marriages would be happening in the winter. The Brides and Grooms where beautiful in their traditional dress. Ben managed to grab himself a few photos with a wedding guest and some typical high school girls, he's a bit of a rock star when it come to the Japanese girls and usually gets lots of giggles as he walks by.
