Day 5 Imperial Palace and Odaiba (Tokyo Bay Area)

Today we left our Showa host families and traveled by train to Tokyo. The train ride was quite long and hot. Then we dropped our things off at Tokyo Central Youth Hostel at Iidabashi in central Tokyo. 

After, we went to a small shopping district in Tokyo, influenced by French culture. There were several French bakeries and restaurants, as well as an arcade. 

We ate lunch at a Mos burger. It sizzled on our taste buds like nothing we have consumed in our lives. It was really fun!

Our first Shrine we visited, called "Yasukuni Shrine"


We got to see the Imperial Palace. It had beautiful gardens and grounds, but only the bottom half of the original Palace remains. It was still really cool to see. 


We are at the Hirakawa gate for Imperial Palace.

WOW! What a pretty iris garden in Imperial Place. The iris flowers are at their peak. We are very lucky to see the blooming garden.



4 girls at the Garden!

At the evening we went to Tokyo Bay Area (Odaiba) by the driver-less train!
