I had never traveled to Tokyo, and upon arrival was excited to tour around the Shinagawa district, which included a view of Tokyo Tower, tour of Sony HQ, walk through the bustling Shinagawa train station, and an exploration of a traditional Japanese garden with historical heritage from Nara, the ancient capital. I made friends with some koi fish! For dinner that night, we ate in the ‘restaurant in the sky,’ which featured a 360 degree view of Tokyo and a glimpse of Mount Fuji in the distance. While in Tokyo I also spent an afternoon at Keio University, founded in 1858 by Yukichi Fukuzawa, which is only eight years before Harriet Burnett and Eliza B. Fay founded Fay School! Ms. Waters really enjoyed eating lots of sushi at Nishiazabu Taku, a traditional sushi restaurant, on our last day. She felt conflicted about eating her second favorite animal apart from moose - an octopus. I am an herbivore so I just stuck to the seaweed salad!
