We started our day At the Suntory Art Gallery, which was showing art in the style of Edo Rimpa. We were too early! What an amazing Group of women!

lovely architecture all around us.

It was lovely to see the beautiful Japanese art of the 1840 s.

we especially liked the Morning Glory panels.

After this Gallery, we went to…. You never Guess it…. The National Arts Gallery which had an exhibition on Salvator Dali.

The building Itself is beautiful !

Our beautiful youngest traveller, with 14 Mothers on board!

We had lunch on our own. Some of us had ramen At a bar and it was delicious!

Only way to eat the soup is to slurp it, as they do not give you a spoon.

Food is wrapped in plastic.

 

Lovely architecture everywhere! The city is very clean.

 

OK, had to take a Photo of the toilet. Toto toilets are mini bidets and they have heated seats and even play music to hide your noise! LOL

 

Lots of bikes everywhere too. Just like in Holland

 

What are these?

A typical touris shop

 

 

Lovely sukuyaki dinner in a private dining room. It was delicious!
