When most people think of Japan
they think of crowds and temples. The above photo shows Asakusa Temple
in Tokyo. Japan has much more then cities & crowds. Japan has
a lot of small cities and towns. There are even rural areas where there
are hardly any people at all! There is such diverse scenery to see and
behold in this fabulous country.
Tokyo is of course is a large and
bustling city.  It is often said that to a Tokyo resident, New York City
is like a rural small town. Despite this Tokyo has some treasures. The
best is probably the Imperial Palace. (Photo to the right). The palace
grounds are next to the main
financial, business and government districts of Tokyo.
The former guard
house on the left shows the stark contrast of traditional oriental
design and modern office buildings! The moat around the palace grounds
adds to the contrast!  To get around Tokyo you must take public transit.
Tokyo has commuter trains, subways, monorails, people movers and even
streetcars. Photos of these rapid transit systems in around Tokyo are
located on the Kavanagh
Transit Website.
