Our Tokyo Trip - Day 1

To Tokyo
Our first Big "Family Trip" together is back to Tokyo for a few days.
We booked 3 nights in Tokyo, and had a long list of Things To Do."

We donned our backpacks again, and headed out of (KK-52) in the afternoon for Tokyo.

It Tokyo, we changed from the Keikyu Line to a tram on the Yurikamome Line.

Tram Ride
We got on the YURIKAMOME Line Tram in Tokyo. The Tram line then approaches the Rainbow Bridge, making a large loop on the way up to the bridge. It was raining in Tokyo.

As we go around the loop, we could see the Tokyo FD Fireboat Station at TAKANAWA.
We need to go there!

Tokyo - Grand Nikko Hotel
We got off the Yurikamome Line Tram at the Daiba Station (U-07) at our hotel.

The Tokyo Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba was selected for a number of reasons. The first being the proximity to this tram, and the convenience of being able to get where we want to go easily.

The other, was the view of Tokyo from the water.



There was a Mexican Festival near the hotel. We will have to check that out later.

Dinner in Tokyo
We walked a short distance from the Grand Nikko in a light rain. Up several floors in a shopping center to a restaurant called "Yakiniku" which was all about Wagyu beef and a style of cooking and eating at our own table.

It looks delicious... A variety of meat, not even been cooked yet!

We place the meat on the grill and it starts cooking. When it looks good, you pull it, and eat it.
Then cook some more. A fun and interesting experience.

 

Dinner was great!  That is our hotel. The Grand Nikko!

Welcome to the Grand Nikko.

Tokyo Night Skyline
The view of Tokyo harbor at night from our room at the Grand Nikko. Outstanding!

View from Our Room
The view of Tokyo from our room was perfect. We could see all the major landmarks, watch the trams, see the traffic.

The tram station is just outside our window and is so fun to watch.

Statue of Liberty
Not far from our hotel is a 1/7 replica of the Statue of Liberty! It changes color frequently.



GOOD NIGHT TOKYO!
