Overwhelmed by the wonderfulness of this city. Politeness is a given. Helpfulness to strangers is so welcome.
we started with precious time with Koko’s family and were treated to a traditional Japanese meal in a restaurant you see in travel shows. We were spoiled with gifts and then driven back to the city at night. The lights and action just kept on going. Yesterday we went up the Skytree Tower and as the weather was so good we could literally see forever. We also went to the woodblock museum and saw the wave woodblock and the prices of creating it. We finished the day with a night time visit to Electric City - hundreds of shops with anime and electronics.
Today our tour begins - I’ll keep you posted!
