Japan - Tokyo Day 2b

Busy day of wandering today. It started out a little overcast, but turned into a lovely day. We first visited the train station to take care of some ticket management for our travels tomorrow and then headed off to the Megura River Cherry Blossoms Promenade. I had hopes that there might be a few blossoms left to see, but we have missed them. Ho hum - so we just moved on. And then, quite by accident, we stumbled on a Japanese version of Putt Putt Golf. It almost seemed like a cross between croquet and golf.  Elderly Japanese people hitting a large ball off of a tee with a mallet towards a metal cage with a tee flag. Very entertaining. We pulled ourselves away to head to the Shibuya Scramble Crossing - Tokyo's busiest intersection. Then it was off to the Imperial Palace gardens. The National Garden is full of life-size bonsai trees! Since my phone was running out of juice, we decided to call it a day while we could still find our way home…
