4. The first place we visited This is in the front of the Senso-ji temple. Which can be found in Asakusa.

5. This is also in front of Senso-ji temple. Inside they burn incense and its said that the smoke heals or helps wherever it is put.

6. Our next stop was Hama Detached Palace Garden. The garden was built in 1654. Its 62 acres big and its in the middle of Tokyo. This place is not one of the things You would expect to see in such a big city.

8. This is the Nakajima teahouse in the center of the garden. In 1879 President Ulysses S. Grant sipped tea with the Japanese Emperor here.

9. Our next stop was the Tocho. It’s the tallest building in Tokyo and these are some pictures of Tokyo from the 46th floor.

10. This is Tokyo from a birds-eye view. It was a little cloudy so you can’t even see the end to the buildings.

11. The rest of the day was shopping and visiting some of The popular sites that most shoppers want to go to. That night we packed and got ready to move to our home stay on the next day. Tokyo has many great sites to see and many fun Places to go too but some places don’t allow pictures To be taken so you have to go to them to see them.

12. While at the home stay so much happened there is no way it could be put into this presentation so here are some pictures of the people we met. But one thing is everyone’s Japanese was benefited during the home stay and that is a great thing.

13. This is the school we went too Honjo Daiichi High School.
