Not much time to write today.
We rode to Nintendo headquarters for kicks. Unfortunately, Shigiro Miyamoto didn’t run out and offer us jobs, nor did he offer us cookies or even a stuffed a giraffe. So we cased the joint for later.
Then went to the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum. Hardly anybody there. We saw a lot of cool old steam engines. Saw a train turn table working. Shot some video of the trains running around. We liked it.
We returned the rental bikes, so sad.
Somehow we managed to get sun burned today. I guess there was a lot less cloud cover, even though it rained. Sad really. Not too bad.
Heading back to Tokyo tomorrow. Booked a hotel in Odaiba.
We are watching the anime “Cowboy Bebop” which has great music.

I like steam engines , so much character. Looked like a big place with lots of interesting stuff. Casey looks like a born engineer behind the throttles. You! not so much!! LOL
One of the things that has really surprised me with the pictures you have shown us is the apparent lack of people on the streets in most of the places you have been.
Not at all what I expected…dad
