Today we visited Western Tokyo and first stop was the sword museum. We learnt how Japanese swords are made and saw some beautiful swords made by master craftsmen. We then wandered the business area of West Shinjuku and saw the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Offices, we also got the elevator 45 floors up to the observatory. We then went to Yoyogi Park to eat our lunch before visiting the Meiji Shrine, the park was a wonderful peaceful quiet area. Then on to Harajuku which was very cute with a main teen fashion street. We then visited Shibuya and experienced an area full of energy and very fast-paced (see photo). It is at Shibuya Station there is a statue of a dog Hachiko. This dog waited at the station for his master for more than a decade after he died. We are now checking in for our flight tomorrow online (yippee!) before our last supper in Japan. We are both sad to be leaving this most beautiful, friendly, amazing country.

Glenn Carter. From what you have written and the lovely photos, Japan looks like a beautiful and vibrant country. Full of colour and tradition. Thank you for letting us share your time there. Next time I read your blog you will be in the USA. Have a good flight. Love to both. From M&D.xx
