I was a bit tired but Mrs. M and I went to Tokyo Station
by subway.

Yes, we wanted to go to the Marunouchi Square
in front of Tokyo Station--丸の内駅前広場.

The Square has just opened with fresh design.

It is a splendid square!



We walked along 行幸通り toward the Imperial Palace.



We sat on a bench and enjoyed talking a lot.

(near Palace Hotel Tokyo)


Then Mrs. M took me to KITTE.
We saw a beautiful big Christmas tree!





It was a wonderful Saturday.

Thank you so much, Mrs.M!

I walked 14960 steps in a day.

The day before yesterday, it was a lovely day
and Mrs. M and I went to Roppongi and Marunouchi.

First, we went to Suntory Museum of Art
サントリー美術館 in 六本木・東京ミッドタウン
and enjoyed セーヴル、創造の300年(づランス宮廷の磁器).









There was a room where cameras were allowed.







Every work looked beautiful, elegant and elaborate.

==========

We walked to The National Art Center, Tokyo.
(国立新美術館, 六本木)
and had a sandwich for lunch there.



After lunch, we went to the Exhibition of
Shinkai Makoto 新海 誠.





The exhibition rooms were
full of young people
and we could hardly
see the exhibition.


I remembered Shinkai's latest work 「君の名は。」
--the record-breaking smash.

“Shinkai's big fans are all coming here!” I thought.

Did you see the movie 「君の名は。」?
I did.
