Back to Tokyo, at Rei & Tommi’s house.
what is the best way to celebrate coming home…
I believe we already mentioned where Hélène learned how to ride bikes in big cities…
She had a private teacher while back in Japan as a kid
Yakisoba ( 焼きそば )
making sure the story of good whisky in Japan holds!
cycling along Tamagawa, down stream!
picnic and ball games all along the banks
6th & 7th May, visiting Mimiko at Odawara…
Still just tasting by curiosity! 😉
Mimiko had invited a friend eager to meet us.
9th May, Back to Tokyo at a famous Hamono place…
We got there just as it was closing for the WE.
wandering through the streets of Tokyo suburbs…
Meeting with Anne Brély (Peultier). Her husband and her were just moving in to live in Tokyo for a few years…
10th May,
Okura Sports Park & swimming pool
Cyclu is more ecological than drivu !
we did ask permission to take that photo…
11th May, not far from Tommi’s home
A group is learning about making tea
not the usual Sunday clothes, but drum festival
one could say this is the Japanese equivalent of pulla!
A system for shutters
used to dry the tea leaves
Ueno Zoological Gardens, Taito
12th May drivu to Kanagawa
Mt Komayama, Ōiso, Ōiso-machi, Kanagawa
13th May, last day! Around Tomi & Rei’s home…
Quite a load of bikes!! Not sure they are all in rolling conditions through…
In Kitami, between Tamagawa and Nogawa rivers.
Getting the knife back from repair…

Time to say goodbye! Thanks for this unique experience and unforgettable memories.
