While the cold front’s impact is most pronounced in the northern regions along the Sea of Japan and heavy snow has caused major disruptions to transportation, the weather in Tokyo is expected to be mostly sunny this week.

We visited the main residences and gardens of the Mito-Tokugawa Clan in the Eastern Part of Tokyo. After taking a water bus on the Sumida River and a bus to visit Sumida Park, we had lunch at “Kantoku-tei” in Koishikawa Korakuen.  A special set meal of the season featuring the plum tree was arranged in a basket and the plum blossoms rice is really lovely!
