Beautiful Japan



After last minute arragements Tanya , Gia and I ended up staying at the Tokyo Tower Prince Hotel in downtown Tokyo.


As a matter of fact , we stayed in the same hotel that my parents stayed at during their first visit to Japan 25 years ago.


After sightseeing and shopping all day in familiar places like Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku and Shinagawa, we visit traditional Japanese Temples at night.
Despues de arreglos de ultima hora Tanya , Gia y yo terminamos hospedandonos en el Tokyo Tower Prince Hotel en el corazon de Tokyo.
A proposito, no hospedamos en el mismo hotel donde mis padres de hospedaron 25 anos atras durante su primera visita a Japon.
Despues de visitar e ir de compras a lugares familiares como Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku y Shinagawa, visitamos por la noche templos tradicionales japoneses
