| Crossing the street in Tokyo |
 |
| Classic view of the Imperial Palace |
 |
| While there, we also saw this carriage |
< |
| Not sure what this little guy represents… |
 |
| Gaggle of kiddos – always in matching hats for easy tracking! |
 |
| Caution! |
 |
| This was dessert at a ninja restaurant we visited with my cousin and her family – very cute ice cream frog on a chocolate lily pad |
 |
| Passing through… |
 |
| Passing through faster! |
 |
| Fuji-san from the Shinkansen |
 |
| And a castle, just outside the station |
 |
| A seasonal display of bamboo shoots in Kyoto |
 |
| Old buildings in Kyoto |
 |
| Still not sure what a swirkle is… |
 |
| A small shrine inside a shopping arcade |
 |
| Ditto |
 |
| One of my favorite photos – this little boy was with his classmates on the train back from Miyajima. He hopped right over an old man in the aisle seat to sit next to the window. |
 |
| Dotonbori in Osaka – street food bonanza! |
 |
| This restaurant serves fugu (blowfish) – we didn’t try any |
 |
| And finally… one last view of my favorite case in any food hall – patisserie! |
