Last Things in Tokyo




On our last day in Tokyo we had about six hours before leaving for our train. We hit the national museum, Ueno Park, and visited downtown. The highlights were seeing way old stuff in the museum, a cat with no tail (I've seen dogs like this too, must be a local custom), and the skyscrapers. The coolest building in the part of town we visited was the Tokyo Government Building. I guessed it to be 60 or so stories with really cool architecture, another building, and a great courtyard.
Tokyo was fun place to visit. I was really impressed with the massive size of the city, not so much up but the neverending vista of 5-10 story buildings. It seems to go forever. The transit is amazing and the city is so orderly for its size. A great start to our time in Japan.
