A massive city. The largest city on earth. Could be its own country. Bustling, busy, lots of people looking trendy. Big City, Earth.


That was our last ride on. Shinkansen (from Toyama to Tokyo). Last stop on our 6 six week blitz through Japan. First day of Golden Week. Kind of a spring break for the country. Today, April 29, is Shōwa Day honoring the birthday of Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito).

We have 5 days to go. We are facing Tokyo with the attitude that whatever we can see and do is fine. Whatever we miss doesn’t matter. There is no place on earth quite like Tokyo.
