We visited the Imperial Palace. Everyone was anticipating the cherry blossoms; it was a nice day but the day before was the pouring rain. Had there been 2 nice days I bet we would have seen more blossoms, but also we only saw a few.
We toured the East Garden which is a lot of open space, gardens (obviously), a tea house and old landmarks. The Palace is surrounded by a wall with a mote on the outside. The wall is so big there are gardens and trees planned on the top. The Imperial family still lives in part of the Imperial Palace.
We took the bullet train to Osaka. Truth be told, I was running a temperature all day and did not feel good. All I could do was get to our hotel room and wrap up in a blanket. Tom went to eat and did a little exploring, and picked me up a sandwich.
