This was our first trip to Japan. Tokyo was on the list mainly because of my son, who had been asking to go for months because of Pokémon and Kirby.

We started in Asakusa, at the gate with the large red lantern, and went on to the temple’s main hall. By midday we were at the foot of the Tokyo Skytree.
At Tokyo Solamachi we went to the Pokémon shop and the Kirby Café. My son came away with a large collection of Pokémon cards and some toys from the Kirby Café. We spent more than I expected, but this was the part of Tokyo he had been waiting for.

In the morning we walked in Shinjuku Gyoen. In the early afternoon we were at a large shrine in Shibuya, and later in the day we were back in Shinjuku.
