Trip of a Lifetime!

Part 1 - Tokyo
At the end of March my husband and I boarded a plane bound for Japan! 
Day 1
Our first glimpse of Japan as we landed at Narita Airport near Tokyo.
Leaving our luggage at the hotel, we headed for Koishikawa Korakuen Garden nearby.
Such a peaceful place even though it's in the middle of the city.


That evening we went to Shibuya, famous for the Scramble Crossing
and Hachikō
Day 2
Tokyo Skytree.
The view from 350m up.
Sensoji Temple


Meiji Shrine

Harajuku



Tokyo Bay Cruise



Day 3
Early morning cherry blossom walk.


Akihabara






Edo Museum









Evening bird's eye view of Shibuya crossing





Evening sakura viewing













Day 4
Morning lesson in Taiko drumming, before leaving Tokyo.



If you would like to hear our tutor showing us how it is really done, I have uploaded a video of our trip to my YouTube channel.
