Tokyo 2011

We spent an extended weekend in Tokyo, while I was on a business trip. On our list of places to visit was the Ikebukuro Earthquake Hall, which has an earthquake simulator. That simulation was too late for us, as we experienced a real earthquake in Tokyo just the night before. Other destinations on our plan were Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi Hills, Ginza, Akihabara Electric Town and the public section of the Imperial Palace Garden. The Yasukuni Memorial Shrine to the Japanese war dead is noteworthy, particularly the museum with its view on Japans role during the second world war. We visited a public Sumo wrestling event and the Origami Kaikan Museum. Odaiba is a big entertainment district with the world largest Ferris Wheel (115m), Toyota show rooms, Sega's Joypolis, and the O-Edo Onsen Monogatari hot spring theme park.
