Yesterday Mrs. M and I welcomed a friend of ours
from Niigata.

We, three ladies, met at the gate of Ryogoku Station.

First, we went to Edo-Tokyo Museum(江戸東京博物館)
to enjoy the Special Exhibition Edo and Beijing (江戸と北京)—
Edo and Beijing-Cities and Urban Life in the 18th Century.





The exhibition was an interesting comparison
of Edo and Beijing in the 18th century.

I didn't know why but I felt nostalgia.

We had a late lunch at a restaurant on the 7th floor.



(the view from the 7th floor)


(Do you see Tokyo Skytree?)


After lunch we walked to 隅田公園 in the misty rain.







A number of people were enjoying 桜まつり.

Then we visited 浅草寺.

仲見世 was so crowded that it was very difficult
to get there



Wherever we went, we saw a lot of tourists
from foreign countries.

I was glad they all looked to be enjoying Japan.

I had a nice day
with two of my friends.

Thank you so much, Ladies!

I walked 19218 steps in a day.
