Tokyo

This was our first extended weekend in Tokyo. Though it was exceptionally hot, we were able to enjoy many different events.

First was the Youssou N'Dour concert. Who would have thought that we would finally get to see him in Tokyo.















We also got to a Japanese baseball game. Though baseball is the same in Japan, the fans are not. Fans from both teams were at the dome and did choreographed cheers for the whole time.












Doug thought it was very amusing to see sushi venders rather than the hotdog stands at US baseball games.











We planned on spending an afternoon in the Imperial Palace grounds but had to cut our time short due to the fact that were running late to our brunch. We plan to return to actually see the palace



















Tokyo has many great museums. We decided to go to ____ Museum since we were told it had many hands on exhibits. Any architect would have loved the museum for its many beutiful models of the Edo period.
















Lastly we enjoyed having tea at the Park Hyatt Hotel. The view was superb, though it was too cloudy to see Mt. Fuji. You can also see the Hotel by watching the movie Lost in Translation. I do think Morri tower in Tokyo does rival the Hotel. Especially with their bullet speed elevators.
