Hibiya Park and Tokyo Chrysanthemum Show

When Tony got home we went exploring so that he could see some of Japan.  We ended up at Hibiya Park which is just outside Tokyo where there was the Annual Chrysanthemum Show going on.  Chrysanthemum is the royal flower of Japan.  There were different types of Chrysanthemum's all over the park - it was beautiful!





This is a view of Tokyo from the park - it was almost like sitting in Central Park in New York and looking out at the City.


This is a picture of a garden house that was really pretty in the park.  There were artists sitting just below where we took this picture and they were sketching this scene.  My picture was a lot quicker but their paintings were really pretty.


Tony and Ally in the Garden House!
We also just enjoyed some time relaxing in the park - it was the best part of the day!

We also went downtown and ate some lunch at a ramen noodle shop - it was a little awkward because they didn't have big tables - it was like a lunch shop.  So, Michael and Nick ate together, Tony and Ally ate together and I got to eat with some stranger... good times!
