Our first day in Tokyo, we decided to have a picnic in the park near our hotel. 
The garden is huge and beautiful. 
This is the Tawain pavilion. 
I have never seen trees like this before, with roots growing up out of the ground. 
The garden is a very old botanical garden. 
Amazing green spiders were everywhere. 
Eating our picnic in the sun. 
These snacks were actually delicious. 
One of the most unique dining experiences we had was at Zauo, a restaurant where you fish for your own dinner :
The tables are within a wooden boat, with fish tanks surrounding it.
The restaurant was very busy and we had to make a reservation a week ahead of time.
Inside the boxes are smaller fish that you have to catch using only a hook, no bait. You have to sneak up on them and pull the hook into their mouth or gills.
So many fish, you’d think it would be easy to catch a few.
The bait to catch “Red Sea Bream”.
Unfortunately, we never caught any fish, and had to order off the menu instead.
Only in Japan can you find maid cafes.
In Akaihbara, we visited an eight story theme restaurant, the @home Cafe. 
The theme is “cuteness”.
Then there are photos with the maids :
After a long hike, we stumbled on a familiar family restaurant for lunch, Denny’s.
Missing from the menu were the Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches and greasy spoon faire we are used to. Instead, there were lunch sets with soup and salad.
The kid’s menu was Pokemon themed
This was the entrance to our room. The walls are made of rice paper. 
The floors are made from bamboo mats called tatami. 
The feature wall. 
A Japanese style breakfast. 
After breakfast, the futons are rolled up to make more living area. 
A very deep bathtub, but before getting into the bath you must use the shower to wash. 
You sit on the stool while you shower. 
And check yourself in the mirror while you wash. 
Toilet slippers must be worn in the toilet and only there!
