I woke up to my first morning in Tokyo a little after 03:30. By 06:00 I had already read (((The Painter of Battles by Arturo Perez-Reverte))), sat zazen for 40 minutes, experienced an earthquake, and washed my face to go out for a walk.
Lobby call was noon, and the Blue Note van left for Yokohama at 12:15.
Here are a few first photos, starting with the view from my room. President Obama was in Tokyo on Friday and Saturday and security around the hotel was intense. 
Thanks Ottmar! Neat Photos!
oh my.. the light reflections on your DMV came out perfect!
Excitement reigns. You’re living a real experience. maybe the president will attend you’re concert?
