Yesterday, we went on a Hato Bus Sightseeing tour of Tokyo with our friends. I had lived in Tokyo before, but I have never been to Tokyo Tower nor a sightseeing tour of Hato Bus. If it wasn't for one of our friend's plan, we would never had a chance to join the Hato Bus sightseeing tour of Tokyo. Today's tour was called "Tokyo Story of Old and New". We visited old and new sightseeing spots of Tokyo. We went to the Imperial Palace, Yasukuni Shrine, Asakusa, Odaiba and Roppongi Hills. Because there will be Princess Norinomiya's wedding ceremony on this coming 15th, it was strictly guarded and we were lucky to see Horse Guards practicing for the soon to be held ceremony,too. When we visited Yasukuni Shrine, there were outdoor antigue show. At Asakusa, we walked around Sensouji Temple and Nakamise Street. We ate delicious Tempura at a famous Tempura restaurant in Asakusa. At Odaiba, we enjoyed window shopping. At Roppongi Hills, we enjoyed the clear view of Tokyo area ftom the observatory floor and visited Mori Art Museum,too. Although the tour made us hurry alot and we weren't able to see everything, we were like kids on a field trip. One of our friends had his birthday yesterday, so we all celebrated it and there was also bus guide check with the guys and etc. It was really fun. We took many photos, funny ones on our friend's digital camera. Next time, we are having an end of the year nabe party with these friends and other friends at a rental cottage. That's something we're looking forward to next.
