So, flying from Singapore to Oahu, I had a 12 hour layover in Tokyo and no way was I going to spend the whole time in the airport, so I took a train in to the city and walked around for a couple of hours – mostly over to the Imperial Palace (Kokyo Gaien National Garden) – and then took the train back. Yet another country experienced (but, obviously I must go back for a longer trip!)! Unfortunately, for part of the time it was raining, but luckily not too hard.

Definitely not in Kansas:

But wait…

A little obsessed by these trees.

Note spider in this shot.

Hit a mall for lunch (and to get out of the rain).

Back to the train station.
