Some more photos from my trip to the Rikugi-en gardens in Tokyo.
Meija Shrine inner garden
I visited the Meija Shrine inner garden. It is a very large traditional Japanese garden in the heart of Tokyo.
Kakuun-Tei
I visited the Kakuun-Tei (tea house) in Tokyo. The original building was destroyed during World War 2. The current house is a reconstruction built in 1958.

Japanese delicacies
Vicki and I stopped over in Japan on our way back from Europe. Here are some lovely photos of the wonderful delicacies you can enjoy whilst visiting 😀 I also tried authentic Japanese sushi and a few other generic local foods, but I won’t bore you with photos of those.

Despite everyone’s insistence that we would be blown up the moment we reached Tel Aviv, we ‘braved’ it anyway to make our way to the ICCC38 (International […]
