Shinbashi Street is lit up at night for more cherry-blossom viewing
Have returned home after two weeks in Japan, and still jet lagging. Went to visit my son who lives there. Always a challenge to do my daily exercises, especially when traveling 30 hours door-to-door. Am now at 1240 consecutive days.
One day I climbed too many steps of a shrine to the top of the “mountain.” Did it with my daughter, so we bonded in a tiring effort. Took about two hours round trip. Another day our family walked five miles looking at parks, temples and streets festooned with blossoming cherry trees.
Here are some photos:
