Tokyo

After we climbed Mt. Fuji we took a few more buses and trains and the metro and found ourselves in Tokyo...hey we got pretty good at getting around...we ended up getting extremely lucky and getting a Japanese style room at the New Sanno (a military hotel). I was so happy to have a place to rest our heads after a long few days. We dropped our bags off and we were off to explore what Tokyo had to offer. I (Melissa) had never had a real desire to travel to Tokyo but I was amazed...the shopping is phenomenal and there is a vast array of restaurants from simple yet chic pastry and coffee shops to hole in the wall sushi stands or if you want to be sophisticated you can dine on the 47th floor of a sky scraper there is something for everyone.

Imperial Palace

Hmm...I would say not the best advertisement.

The moat around the Imperial Palace.
