The kids wake up at the first crack of dawn, which is about 4am in Tokyo. And they are ready to do stuff. So we have lots of time in the morning to explore. Today we went to the Mejji Temple and Gardens near Shibuya. So far, this has been my favorite place to visit. Its a world removed from the hustle and rush of modern day Tokyo. Its an oasis of tranquilly and tradition. Friends in Tokyo told me that the Japanese are not very religious, but that they love to visit the temples. And I can see why. Its a great place for reflection and rare chance to escape the pulse of a "always on" urban life.
