After our cruise ended
The trip to Yokohama was a smooth one. My flight from Narita Airport did not leave until 9 p.m. so I signed up for a tour of Tokyo. Our guide had studied at Boulder University in Colorado and was fluent in English. We passed Haneda Airport and made our first stop at the largest Shinto shrine in Tokyo, the Meiji Shrine. We learned that the emperor and empress were much revered by the people and there were many beautiful trees planted to honor the emperor. There was also a car that was parked in the shrine ready to be blessed.
On the way to Asakusa Temple, we went down Omotesando Street where there are many high end shops. Our guide mentioned that there are three Hawaiian pancake restaurants in the area and there are always long lines. The tour was a wonderful way to bid farewell to an awesome country.
