Morning Tokyo Tour

On Friday while the kids went to class, Susan and I took a tour of Tokyo. We started at the Tokyo Tower, the second tallest building in Tokyo.

Our tour only went to the Main Observatory, which 490 feet high, and not the Special Observatory, which reaches a height of 820 feet, but it still gave some nice views of the city.

From there our bus drove through Shibuya and Yoyogi Park to the Meiji Shrine.

 

We drove by the Diet building, where the Japanese Parliament meets. 

After that we stopped at the Imperial Palace grounds. On most days the tour goes to the East garden, but on Fridays the garden is closed, so we walked to the bridge to the main gate.
