Day in Tokyo


On Sunday night, I left from Kyoto to Tokyo by night bus. The bus was called the "Dramatic Star," and I rode it for 8 hours.



The first sight I saw in Tokyo was the Tokyo central post. Just imagine all of that mail.






Here is a shot of a Tokyo train. This one was not crowded as others.






We took the train to Tokyo Tower.




Here we are on our way up the Tokyo Tower elevator.






Here is a few of the city from Tokyo tower.





The black building is a modern Buddhist temple.






Here is a wide shot from the tower.





Here is another wide shot.






This guy was cleaning the windows when I got his attention for a picture.






In the background of this wide shot, there is Mt. Fuji.






Here is an ancient temple in Tokyo. I would go there later.








After leaving Tokyo Tower, we found this small creek in the middle of the city.






Here is a picture of the tower from that ancient temple.





The temple had these little statues with what I believe are offerings.





Here is me posing next to statue one.






Statue two.





Statue three.





Statue four.





Here is what the inside of the temple looked like.




Here is a scene from the ceremony inside the temple.





Here is what I believe is the only Wendy's in Japan.






Here is just a random shot of Shinjuku.





Here is a shot of business men eating noodles on the street.






Here is the Domino's delivery guy. Pizza is very expensive in Japan.





Here is a movie poster for Lassie (or Rasshii).





Here's the Boss. It is a type of coffee.





This is from a random souvenir shop. The "Pee" I believe is for peach.





Here is a field outside the Imperial Palace. On another nearby field there were very many bums sleeping. There were no bums here because of this sign.





Here is me imitating a bum.





Here is the Imperial Palace, it was closed the day I went. Lazy emperor.





This guy was standing guard. He refused to pay attention to me.





I really tried to get his attention.





Here is a statue of a samurai outside the palace.






Here is an explanation of how to use a Japanese toilet. This is from a bathroom outside the palace, so you that think they would have had paper towels.





Here is Eric drinking a special Dr. Pepper can.





Here is me trying to get a free souvenir.





Here is me in an off-road wheelchair. Line up, ladies.






Here is me with two Japanese girls. Apparently, some like to dress up.





Here is me with a statue of Godzilla.





Godzilla burger!





Here a shot from a clothes store in Tokyo. Even though their clothes looked like old American clothes, they were still unbelievably expensive.





Yes, I got to see the Japanese Center for Hair Dressing and Beauty Education. It looked official.





Here is me at a sushi restaurant.





Here is my very inexpensive but comfortable hostile.




I returned from Tokyo by bullet train. It only took 3 hours.
