Visiting Japan has been something I have wanted to do for the longest time. Finally, after much planning, I got to holiday Tokyo. It was exciting as we were not going with a tour group but on a "Free and Easy" holiday.
We took a night flight flying out, here is my boy at Changi Airport waiting for our flight:-
Arriving the next morning at 6.30am, we were welcomed into Japan with a light snow fall and -1 degree celsius. It was my first time seeing falling snow so it was something we enjoyed while waiting for the bus to the hotel:-
It was far too early to check-in so after dropping of the luggage at the Hotel we were off to lunch at Ueno which is a 25min train ride from the hotel. We basically just got into the first interesting restruant we saw:-
Ueno's Ameyoko market is very much a mishmash of stuff with fresh and dried foods as well as clothings and souvenirs:-
After lunch and walking around the market, it was just too cold to stay out longer so back to the hotel to check in and conclude the day.

Hi, welcome back it good to see you around again. Japan looks cold but lovely.
My your boy is growing up! :)

I love the shot of your boy in his big coat and the street market. So colorful.
Liss - Thanks for dropping by :) Yes, Japan was a little cold but still great fun and my boy is growing up a little too fast for me.
Kass - Thank you for the comment...winter being the season it is, bright colours were a little hard to come by but glad that I managed to find some :)
