Tokyo Children’s Castle

Yesterday Anna and I spent the day with Noriko while David attended the conference that brought us to Tokyo.

In the morning we attended a traditional Japanese tea ceremony at the Hotel Okura. Honestly, it wasn't my favorite way to spend our time here, but I'm glad we tried it. Now we know.

The highlight of the day was a trip to the Children’s Castle, a building with 5 floors of activities for kids. Anna was definitely in need of a little kid time and Noriko was a great sport. The best part for me was the amazing architecture all around us. That holds true for Tokyo in general, by the way. Amazing architecture everywhere. You'll notice a lot of reflections in these shots, too—a recurring theme in my architectural photography.

Hey Jules. These photos are amazing! Looks like Anna had a great time, especially watching Mom come down the slide. ;-)
