Our first full day in Tokyo was a walking tour of the Ginza neighborhood around our hotel. We covered more than 10 kms starting with the imperial gardens and palace of the Japanese emperor. A highlight for me was seeing the street art including a Godzilla statue (first of 2 statues in the city of this famous monster).
We did some shopping, did some dining and oggled at the beautiful night lights on our way back to the hotel. Tired feet and full bellies signaled the end to a wonderful day.
Tomorrow will see us take a private tour out of the city and into the highlands of Nagano prefecture to the northwest.
