Well, here we go.........

 

.....the mandatory beer and snack......

.....I must say for economy, this was pretty good. (Kudos to ANA airlines.)

Watched "The Post" with Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. (I give it an "okay.")

Well, we spent our first night in Japan at a hotel in Kawasaki. (Musashi Kosugi don't you know.) I could tell by the snow in the morning (hard to see) that our first plan of going to a baseball game would not become a reality.

Good thing Ritsue's sister's place is right across from the hotel! (Look left)

Time to hop a train instead......

So used to the crowds, this subway hallway was a nice change.

We headed into Tokyo to go to one of Ritsue's sisters favorite tuna restaurants. Unfortunately it was closed, but fortunately we found another gem close by.

........4th trip to Japan, but yet another first......

......t'was very enjoyable, recommended by the sisters if your ever in Tsukishima!

We strolled around checking the sights. Crossed over the Sumida Gawa.

....yay!, I spotted the Tokyo Tower! 

We headed to the Tsukiji fish market......

.... always so much to explore....

....sadly for us, we missed again, the market was actually closing up.

Open for interpretation.....

Then we headed to........

...the famous Kabuki-za Theatre! Well, we struck out again, all of the shows that day were sold out! All in all it was still a very fun day.

Heading back to the train, do people really use this?

Also at the train station, they were lined up for a smoking room, huh.

Here it comes......

...... our bullet train to.........

......our ride in Hiroshima!
