Tokyo "Must Do" List

We have been here more than a year now and we finally bit the bullet and walked over to the famous Tokyo Tower! Although humid and warm and a weeknight, the lines were still rather long. People everywhere you go! I guess with 43 million in the greater Tokyo area, it is unrealistic to think anywhere is a solitary place! Although the pictures did not turn out very well, it gives an idea of the size of the city....the lights seem to go on forever!

Tokyo Tower, although now dwarfed by bigger buildings remains the symbol of Tokyo throughout the world

An opportunity arose to attend a baseball game here in Tokyo. This is a BIG sport and they take their playing very seriously! It was a huge event with big screen, cheerleaders and fireworks between innings.



Crowds gather in any weather to watch their team play!
