My first cherry blossom tree!
East Gardens of the Imperial Palace
Mandi in front of the original walls of the Imperial Palace, which burned a long time ago
Josh in front of the Imperial Palace moat, with the Palace in the background
A close-up look at the Palace
The Japanese Parliament (officially called the National Diet)
Shibuya Crossing
Part of the Meiji-jingu shrine
A close-up look at cherry blossoms
Josh and Mandi at a cherry blossom festival
Decorations at the cherry blossom festival
Japanese festival goodies...sadly, they tasted kind of like uncooked spaghetti coated with powdered sugar...
The festive stairway of our hotel on base
Musicians at the fertility festival
Cherry blossom petals decorating the water...there were so many floating around that sometimes it looked like it was snowing!
A look at where all those petals came from
Part of the Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu shrine
Josh and Mandi on a cherry blossom lined walkway in Kamakura...this doesn't do the beauty of the walkway justice, but it's the only picture we have of us in Japan other than self-portraits!
