We began our trip with an overnight at the Tokyo Imperial Hotel |

|
Across the street was the imperial garden, a rich
blend of architecture and greenery |

|
There was also an outdoor theater |

|
With a pretty flower garden in front |

|
What a neat contrast between the old post office
building (1800's) and the modern skyline |

|
The gardens were not in bloom, but must be
beautifull in the spring and summer. |

|
There was a quaint little flower shop |
... And a map to find your way |
