On our way to the Imperial Garden, we passed by Tokyo Tower, modeled after its Eiffel counterpart.
The moat and the wall around the Imperial Garden, with Tokyo Tower in the background.
The restored gate to the Imperial Garden (former site of the Edo Castle)
This fish-like creature was once on top of the gate's roof, to protect it from fire. I guess it didn't work so well.
There were a lot of artists trying to depict the beautiful scenery.
In Asakusa, there were a few girls dressed in traditional clothes around the temple. After I took a picture with these four, they asked to take a picture with me. I felt like I should be wearing something nicer.
Sensô temple's main building. It looks to me as if the roof is going to collapse any minute.
This pagoda is just one of many buildings that comprises Sensô temple.
Made of octopus and shellfish, these aren't your typical kebabs
Japan is the land of cuteness, including lucky cats. These were for sale at one of the many stands off Sensô temple.

Air-conditioned lunch with a view
The Rainbow Bridge over Tokyo Bay, with the artificial island of Odaiba in the background
The Fuji Television building in Odaiba
I've never expected to find a good value meal in the heart of Ginza: this is called Ten Shin Han and consists of rice with egg, pork, ham and peas topped with a funny sweet sauce. On the right, miso soup.
Steve opted for a more average pork ramen soup with gyoza (pan fried dumplings) on the side.
It was hard getting pictures of the buildings at night that didn't come out blurred. This was taken in Ginza.
