Clovers on a mailbox.

Clover and I on the train, in Tokyo

Aiko Fukawa stationary at Itoya.

Calico Critters are a big deal here.

We were happy to try the chocolate croissant and melon pan at the Muji cafe.

The ceiling in the Ginza station is quite low! maiki was cautious to not hit their head on hanging signage.

The art wall of this platform is so cool

Coffee filled vending machine on the train platform. There are highly specific options for water, cream & sugar!

In the evening we visited the Laundromat. It was easier than expected because we could wash and dry all of our laundry in one machine!

Park Stand Tokyo had a chocolate chip scone that I will return for.

The Edo Fukogawa museum was super fun and informative.

I ordered the “citrus beer” and it was very good. The venue must be a happening spot in the summer.

This coffee bar is also a teaching center for coffee.

I loved visiting the Japanese Postal museum! They have stamp collections from every country!

In the Chiba Institute of Technology section of Sky Tree maiki and Emma created fireworks displays.

We ate dinner at this wonderful restaurant. My udon was so very yummy and had citrus peel in the broth that hightened its flavor.

Tree sporting rope for the winter as supports for the branches that will break if they get heavy with the snow.

This rope is used as pest control. I saw both of these methods being used in every garden we visited.

It is easy to imagine these branches full of sakura blooms.
