Breakfast tourist tour bus then to the international cruise terminal and loading onto the boat. Possibly better refer to as a Ship.
Meiji shrine and bonsai exhibit at the shrine




Hama-rikyu Gardens. Seawater garden built for the Shogun.


Not a particularly interesting place. It’s main attraction was the contrast between an urban garden and the large buildings surrounding it, tall glass and steel concrete brutalist architecture.



Above at the coffee shop. Boarding was easy and room is lovely. Even has a walk-in closet. wi-Fi is very slow as to be expected.
Wind at 30 knots so dinner before cruise ship pulls out for a very rocking start with big bow waves.

Captain made announcement that it will be a rough night. Batten down the doors etc.
Hamarikyu was/is one of the oasis in Tokyo – a bit of garden at the edges of a busy part of the city. Also the terminus for one of my favorite rides, the Sumida River Bus to Asakusa which takes you through Tokyo by the river – bit different view.
What’s the name of the cruise ship? Might be able to track it’s progress on the vessel map we followed my mom on.
