Tokyo Photos!

As many of you know, we recently took a little trip to Tokyo with Tori's sister Rachael. Tori's going to do the human side of things on her blog...so I'll stick to the scenic shots for the most part. Here are some highlights:


Our room at the restaurant on our first night in town. Shinya, Shimpei, and Shinji (some of our old TIUA students) took us here and Jared and Steph caught up with us a bit later.



Shinya, Rachael, Shimpei, myself, and Tori hanging out on the streets of Shinjuku.



Rachael, Tori, and Naoko basking in the sunlight on a beautiful day in Shinjuku Park.



Pretty park stuff.



More pretty park stuff.



View of a skyscraper from Shinjuku Park.



Shinjuku skyline from Shinjuku Park.



Another buildings vs. trees shot.



Cool statue in a shrine in Asakusa.



Cool old street in Asakusa.



Mural in Asakusa.



Asakusa Temple.



Statue of Buddha in the middle of Asakusa Temple.



Smokey thing in the middle of Asakusa Temple...kind of like a wishing well for asians, but instead of throwing money in it, you buy incense from the temple and burn it there.



A street lined with shops in the middle of Asakusa.



Weird circle of 50's-style dancers in the middle of Ueno Park.



Birds in Ueno Park.



More birds in Ueno Park.



The beginning of our boat tour through Tokyo.



A pretty bridge.



Another pretty bridge.



The last pretty bridge picture...I promise.

And...that, more or less, is our trip to Tokyo, told through scenic pictures. Look for more info on Tori's blog later.
