We went to Tokyo last weekend for the first time in six months. We visited Yabo Tenmangu Shrine in Kunitachi City, some shops in Kichijo-ji City, and stayed overnight next to the Prime Minister’s residence in Chiyoda Ward. The Ginko leaves were very vibrant and beautiful set against the backdrop of a bright blue sky!
