We decided to go central Tokyo today and see some more cultural things. When we got to the Tokyo subway stop, we noticed right away that it was much less crowded with people than the different areas that we went to yesterday. Outside of the train station, there were a lot of tall business buildings, none that were covered with flashy billboards or neon lights. Plus, because it was Saturday, there were few people around this business area.
We walked west towards the park where the Imperial Palace is. The main portion of the park with the Imperial Palace is closed to the public except on New Years and the Emperor’s birthday. So we just got some photos from the outside that are still very nice.
There is also a section called the Eastern Garden park, where all the lesser citizens can go to get a feel for the Imperial Palace. There is a museum inside, and lots of trees and smaller buildings where samurai used to live and guard. It was neat, but much too big, and we didn’t feel like exploring that stuff today.
Remember, two days ago we walked all around to look for Paola’s passport, then yesterday we walked down the western side of Tokyo for about 11 hours, so today we were quite tired of walking. So, instead of doing sightseeing, we thought we would just go back to the Apple Store to do our internet communications.
