JINDAIJI







Fumio Ito took us to Jindaiji Botanical Garden, which, we agreed, had the most spectacular cherry blossom collection we've ever experienced. The temple itself was built in 733 and is next to Asakusa as the oldest in Japan. The variety of Sakura colors was awesome. Then for dinner, we celebrated Yayoi Kondo's birthday at Tofuya Ukai, an incredible restaurant located at the base of Tokyo Tower.
