Training Walk (University of Tokyo Hongo campus -> Suidobashi -> Iidabashi-> Ichigaya)

After finishing teaching an earlier than usual class at the University of Tokyo, I walked around Hongo campus and then walked to Suidobashi where the The Tokyo Dome is located and then Iidabashi and finally Iichigaya where I was an exchange student over 30 years ago! Enjoy the photos!

Training Walk (Azabu Juban -> Tokyo Tower -> Zojo-ji -> Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens)

Walk started again from Azabu Juban where we finished due to heavy rain with friend John and successfully made it to Tokyo Toker in honor and memory of his wife Peilun. Cheers to Peilun! Prayers were made for both Peilun and John at Zojo ji Buddhist temple. We walked untill Hamamatsucho. There, I later walked around nearby Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens. Our training walk will continue! Enjoy the photos!
