Tennoji (天王寺) during sakura season
天王寺の桜
One of my favorite places in the world during any season, Yanaka’s Tennoji can be an oasis like no other on a blue sky day in early April.
Not all buildings need be box shaped
These buildings can be seen in Tokyo’s Ginza district. Cartier is a big gold box. And at Christmas time they even put a big red bow around it. I’m not sure what the building is next to it with the crazy shape.

Sumida River Cruise
View from Tokyo Water Bus (水上バス) in Sumida River
One of the nice things about traveling around Tokyo is you don’t have to have a plan. You can go pretty much anywhere and still find your way home since a train station is not beyond walking distance no matter where you end up. Such was the case on this day when we were in Asakusa. Rather than ride the subway back home, we got on the water bus in Asakusa, rode to Hinode Pier, walked to Tamachi Station, and rode the Yamanote Line back to Takadanobaba from there. The kids had train passes from Tamachi to Takadanobaba to go to school so it didn’t cost them anything for that stretch of the journey. Today’s photo is from the Sumida River.
