First, stop a 30 minute bus ride to the Japanese national Museum. Due to delays we will have a total of one hour and five minutes to see approximately six buildings and numerous exhibitions. Possibly less because we have to walk to the museum from the parking lot.

Nine of the 11, Peggy and Rebecca not here yet

Nice museum we got to see it for about 35 minutes

The way in
Sarawacaho district by Hiroshigi
The Emperor was carried around in this enormously heavy palanquin

Bus ride over to Ginza, and then a tour of Mitsukoshi department store, followed by a walk back to the hotel. Total of 9.6 miles today.

Much of the walk along the imperial Palace Gardens

After long walk back, we got to the Shinjuku station. Got JR passes and sore feet. Decided to eat locally, and we found a very good sushi place.

Especially good

Place was very very crowded by the time we left. Somehow we stumbled into a good choice. another hard one third-floor on some nondescript building in a crowded neighborhood.

    Sushi looks delicious!! Much needed to resuscitate after long walk.

    Such a beautiful blue sky above the imperial palace gardens. I recall the gardens being stunning, even under wintery December sky.

      We got very lucky with the sushi place. Also very hard to find. The other three were getting so fussy and ready to give up.
