Tokyo Part 2 Yokohama

So after Nikko we went to Yokohama were the Temples are more Japanese style.I personally like these ones better, more calm looking. The Chinese style is more detailed, but I think they area little cheesy, which is why I prefer these. Unfortunately Shoko is sleeping so I cant name these untill later.

This Bell is considered a National Treasure to Japan

The family in front of a cherry Blossom tree in Japan (Japan is kind of famous for these)

A beautiful Dragon painting on the ceiling of a shrine (potential future calf tattoo? perhaps)

The Bell again

Dont remember the name of this place, but I do remember that it is good luck to walk under this.

i thought this picture looked cool.

Tokyo Part 1 and Nikko

This last weekend we took our first trip to Tokyo.

At the airport.

Timmy doing his share

Mt. Fuji from the plane

After we got to Tokyo it was off to the trains (I think we averaged about 5 trains a day)

Shoko and Timmy on the train to Nikko. Nikko is about a 2 1/2 train ride north of Tokyo. Famous for it's hot springs.

At the traditional Hotel we stayed at they had these Yukatas (traditional Japanese clothing worn around the house). When in Rome...... They are very comfortable, I may even buy some.

Dinner at the restaurant in the Hotel.

The Five-Storied Pagoda in Nikko Japan.

Timmy's first time in the snow, he doesn't care that we are taking pictures.

Timmy frolicking

Timmy and Shoko playing (It's her first time in the snow as well.)

Family pic at a waterfall. We are holding our hands that way because it is how Timmy shows you how old he is.
