A while back, I commented on how sometimes a mistake can be an opportunity. This was such an opportunity. We wandered upon a flower-covered memorial dedicated to the victims of the 1945 Tokyo air raids and a large impressive shrine. There was an open-air garden exhibit of burned and twisted remnants of things destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. We discovered a most beautiful traditional Japanese park with water, carp, ducks, gorgeous landscaping, bridges and winding paths. It is the kind of place that really embodies traditional Japanese design and attention to detail. We also walked along the river, where we had taken a river boat cruise on Saturday, and that was also fun to see.
When we got back to the station, we ate at our little Thai restaurant, and were home to meet the boys. The week has been rainy, unfortunately, but we are managing to avoid it most of the time.
