View looking from the fort area across a lagoon to the Fuji TV Building. The center "ball" is a viewing area.
This is the fort island as seen from the Fuji TV BuildingA trip on the train over the Rainbow Bridge that crosses the Tokyo Bay brought us to several man-made islands. The most well known is Odaiba which was originally the home of a fort built by the Tokugawa Shogun in response to the visit of Admiral Perry in 1853-54. Little is left of the fort, but the major island has been turned into a sandy beach and shopping district mixed in among the shipping docks and warehouses. A famous building built by Fuji - Television Network Headquarters is quite the imposing and unique structure and dominates the eastern skyline.
Fall is in the air and getting out in the city has become a pleasure once again!

Loved this replica of the Staue of Liberty with the Rainbow Bridge in the background...did a double take to remember this was not NYC - Dorothy!
Couldn't resist this smashing outfit. Some of the styles in Tokyo are truly breath-taking!No young woman is complete without her little doggie!

Thanks for updating us on your mission activities. We love to see what is going on in Japan. We want to know how the driving is and is the city clean? Your missionary buddies in the Philippines. The Watkins
Where those last two picts taken from the TV building? What a site! Has Japan known much war? Or does Dad Brown just find all the war monuments?
