On our first day in Tokyo, we went for a tour with Miura san who acted as our "driver" and "guide". Thank you, Miura san!
For the rest of day, it's "jalan-jalan" (walk about) in the city and "makan-makan" (feast) time.
Before leaving the hotel, we had our first breakfast in Japan.
Healthy breakfast as recommended by Miura san.
This one was slightly heavier.
Beautiful scenery at Rikugien gardens.
Maple trees were all around.
Good coffee and sandwich.
Our 4WD limo.
A coffee break at Doutor.

So many of the Japanese delicacies from all over Japan.
We were offered " Shiso Yaki" or soya BBQ beef tongue from the Sendai stall.
