We start by walking around the Imperial Gardens, looking over the moats and walking through the trees, which are simply beautiful, and eventually arrive at Yasu Kuni Jinja, a huge shrine dedicated to all Japanese war dead. We pass through the largest gates I've ever seen, walk through a small market, and eventually arrive at a fantastic museum, which contains everything from Samurai armor to actual Japanese Zero aircraft. After enjoying the museum, we head into Ikebukuro, a very cool Tokyo neighborhood, full of music and lights and trendy crowds. The streets are full of energy - someone hands me a flyer about where their band is playing, the arcades are noisy and full, and before we know it, we're at the Toyota Amlux building, a kind of automotive future showroom. We look at some cool concept cars and then it's time for dinner.Labels: japan, trips
