Fuji San,Cherry Blossoms and Sukiyaki

Look out of hotel window and have first viewing of Fuji San. Wander around understated hotel gardens and then off to Kappabashi Dori, the street of a thousand kitchenware supply shops. Enjoyed watching ceramic shop owner's face as 2 blind people tried to navigate through shop with white canes. Udon noodles and tempura for lunch and then viewing of temple.
To Ueno Park to watch groups of salary men picnicking under the cherry blossoms.
In the evening dinner of Sukiyaki at Imahasa Akusan restaurant-turned out to be a brief affair.

  1. I bet you are both now reaping the benefits of having taken all those Japanese language classes beforehand - must be so much easier getting around.
