Tokyo: Day 4 – Yumenoshima

With overcast and rainy forecast, I opted to go to the Yumenoshima Botanical Gardens because it is indoors in a giant greenhouse.

But before we get to that, one observation I have made moving about is the disappearance of traffic in Tokyo.

There were no cars or people on the road since I have been here. Monday is a holiday so that would make sense but the whole time I have been here has been like these photos.

On my walk to the gardens, I came across these dinosaurs exercising in the park.

Orchids!

After the gardens, I wondered the nearby marina and stopped for lunch.

This whole setup was 2850 yen ($18.75)

Back near the hotel, I went for a walk in the evening to find a place to eat dinner and came across this elaborate animated clock.

Then I found this ramen place.

I order by taking a picture of what I want and…

Presto!

It was a long day and I change hotels tomorrow…my time here is coming to and end.
