Grandma and Papa in Tokyo!!!!

Sunday, March 29th, Rod and Nancy flew into Narita Airport direct from Atlanta. Chad drove up to the airport while the girls and I took the train to the New Sanno Hotel in Tokyo. We were going to spend their first night there.



Here we are eating at the Japanese Restaurant, Kikuya that first night they came in. We had delicious tempura, grilled meat and miso soup. Rod was a big fan of the miso soup. They also tried sake for the first time.

The next morning Chad and his Dad woke up very early (4:00 a.m.) to take a taxi to the Tsukiji Fish Market. This is the famous fish market in Tokyo where fish is sold to restaurants all over the world for a TON of money.

After they returned we loaded a Hato Bus for a 1/2 day Tokyo Tour. We went to the Tokyo Tower, Imperial Garden, Asakusa, drove through Ginza and Akihabara, and finally a stop at the Taka Pearl Gallery. It was a whirlwind, but at least we were able to go via bus.



More adventures from Japan to come....stay tuned...
