Memorial for ChildrenMy understanding is that these are a memorial for babies that have died. I have not been able to find out alot about these, but I thought it was quite amazing to see.
The Tokyo TowerIts funny because Tokyo has the Statue of Liberty, a tower very similar to the Eiffel Tower, and a World Trade Center (it doesnt look anything like those in New York). It was quite amazing to see it at night. We went up to the observation deck which the view was amazing!
A nasty spiderIn the evening we noticed you much watch where you put your hands because these guys would be "hanging out" everywhere.
The Streets in HarajukuYou could barely move walking down the streets. We saw some of the craziest outfits...ones that would pass for a "sex trade worker" in Calgary.
Traditional Japanese Wedding at the Meiji ShrineThey had the most amazing outfits! We could not believe they could wear that many layers in 30 degree weather! We were sweating in our shorts and t-shirts!
Shibuya scramble crossingThis was insane! People crossing from all directions at the same time weaving through. It is definitely something we have never seen before! We went for prime viewing from the Starbucks to see it from above.
(we will share the videos when we get back...had a hard time uploading it)
Our first ride on the bullet trainThis was the best way to get around the country. It is too bad Canada doesnt have this type of transportation. Some of the trains travel at 350km/h (which was enough to make Erin motion sick). They had lots of leg room and space to move around, which made our 2 - 6hr trips go by quickly.
