JP 2018 May Tokyo

Returned to Tokyo by domestic flight from Hakodate for the first time. Stayed in Tokyo for the next few days during the 2nd half of the golden week. Afterwards, visited western Izu, Hakone Open-Air museum and Fuji Shibazakura Park by car while based in Izu for few days before returning to Yokohama.

Roses in Yoyogi Park

Visited Yoyogi Park on a sunny morning. It was a surprise as we did not expect roses to be in full bloom so early during the golden week.

Torii gate to Meiji-jingu but did not enter

Star Wars Stormtropper in Shinjuku

There was a long queue in Shinjuku with people dressed in costumes of Star Wars characters. Ah – it’s a promotion for a new episode Han Solo. Looks like there are many fans in Japan.

On next morning we strolled around in Akasaka – where we stayed. Dropped by the Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho, where it used to be Akasaka Prince Hotel. There was a nice garden outside the Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho. Roses were blooming as well.
