First night in Akasaka at the Ninja Restaurant (trust me it is as cheesy as you are imagining and I look better in real life!)
We saw a couple of weddings at Meiji Shrine in Harajuku the next day.
Here's Sarah and Jon in front of the Meiji Torii gate.
Modern architecture in Omotesando on our travels.
No trip to Tokyo is complete without a stop in Kabukicho. If you want to see the inside of a host club-you have to ask Sarah.
A temple in Yamanaka.
A steel mask at a temple in Ueno Park.
This doesn't look like a temple or shrine, but it's in Ueno Park.
This picture has the Sky Tree and Golden Turd in the same picture in Asakusa. (Although my guests from Minnesota said that the Golden Turd looked like a Viking Horn)
The new Gap/Mizuho building in Ginza. We did more than this. I Promise. Ask Jon and Sarah.
I would like to see the inside of a host club xD
or at least hear what its like inside one.

hi, thanks for the photos! i just wanted to quickly note to everyone that the "not a shrine/temple" thing on the 3rd picture from the bottom is something called a "stupa" - which is place of worship that contains Buddhist relics.

thanks!
