In the morning at stattion

Gage :We took an hour long train ride to Tokyo. It got kind of crowded on some of the trains but we all made it ok.

After that some of us went out to eat at an Italian restaurant. Then we went to an arcade where we played rhythm games and wasted money on gacha.

Gacha is those capsule toys/keychains you see outside arcades or store

at Imperial Palace ( Iris Garden_

After lunch and the arcade we went to a memorial with a massive Torii (shrine gate) with a portion dedeicated to WWII. it had a large statue dedicated to a man that designed the first western style American war for Japan. After that we went to visit the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace is no longer a standing castle rather a a ruins with the walls left standing converted into a beautiful garden. We really enjoyed the view and took many pictures, my favorite part being the first ever guys only flower picture.

We also stopped for ice cream, I got green tea ice cream, it was really tasty!
