Busy start to our Japan

First couple of days have been a proper whirlwind since landing a couple of nights ago. First up was a visit to Paul’s office, then off to explore the Imperial gardens. Both quite incredible. Then headed over to Shibuya for some lunch a shop and to show the boys the shibuya scramble crossing. We got a bit of rain at that time so had to quickly scramble to find some 400 yen umbrellas which in typical Japanese fashion are ubiquitous and functional. That night we had tickets to the baseball through which the rain continued but the entertainment and enthusiasm from the crowd was as much fun as ever. Still one of the great sporting experiences you can go too.

Early start the next morning and off to TeamLabs which is a digital and interactive art exhibition. Next stop Ginza for some Ramen and what I thought would be window shopping before heading to Disneyland for the night then Disney Sea the next day. The places are incredible to see, boys had a great time and have forgiven me for going 10 years ago without them

the next day Sara and Jun showed us around Shibuya, Ometasando and Harajuku. We then finished up visiting the Meiji Shrine which sits in the middle of this amazing woodland right next to the busiest part of the city. The place is quite beautiful and peaceful. The day finished with a Terrific dinner at Paul and Maki’s, some sushi and balcony bbq’ing

that’s it for now, more to come later.
