A rainy day in Tokyo
A Brazilian lawyer dropped in Tokyo for 4 days during his 45 days around-the-world journey. Unfortunately when he was with me as a guide on May 6, it rained rather strong all the day but it seemed that he did not mind. We visited major touristic points like Omotesando-Meiji jinguu Shrine- Shibuya - Fukagawafudooson - Tomioka Hachimannguu Shrine - Imperial palace and Tokyo Station. Among them, he was impressed with the Buddhism rite at Fukawawafudooson because large drums were beaten.
