The idea to go to Tokyo was for four specific reasons (in no specific order):

1. Eat sushi from Jiro – we didn’t get reservations
2. Go to Tsukiji Market – it wasn’t open
3. See the Cherry Blossoms – we were days too early
4. Visit my college buddy, Takuya Miyazawa – super success, as we also got to meet his wife Ruka, and son Haruki!

We asked them to meet us in Ginza, for some sushi.

The restaurant was ready for Haruki…

He thoroughly enjoyed his sushi.

We got quite a selection ourselves.

After a few beers, we walked back to the train station, as we were all heading in the same direction. Turns out Haruki is in LOVE with the trains!

He got to buy his own ticket.

And then we all parted ways!
