Had a wander around Tokyo, photo 1 is by Asakusa Kannon Temple, photos 2 and 3 are at the temple.
There were lots of vibrant colours and clothing around. |

Got up at 2.50am to queue for a look at the tuna auction in the Tsukiji Fish market.
Only 120 people can get in each day so you need to be early. Had to wait until 5.20am to get inside and you only get about 20 to 25 minutes in there. We had some sushi afterwards of course.

Jonathan and I at Matsumoto castle with a new friend. One of the trains we used getting from Matsumoto to the city of Toyama, it was only 1 carriage and the driver was in the front on the left. Jonathan and I with our nephew Nik Rae who is living and teaching in Toyama. The 3 of us went to Unazuki, then by tourist train into the Kurobe Gorge.
In Inage on our last night in Japan with Ena and Mathew Hollinshead at a Korean restaurant.
