My beloved bike has finally arrived in Japan! I have spent so many good moments with "her" that Noemi calls her my lover. She makes many noises while riding it, she is not new or fancy - but I was really missing it.
For my first trip, I decided to ride around the Imperial Palace. I have understood that you can at least visit the gardens, but all the gates were closed today - need to check this later.
Today is a beautiful day - sunny, 5° C and not windy - perfect for a ride. The route was only 10 km, but it was a wonderful beginning.

in this link, You will be able to follow the route and see the pictures at their precise place they were taken.
South of the Imperial Palace Park, you can find some of Tokyo's landmarks:
 |
| The National Diet of Japan ( Parliament ) |
 |
| Prime Minister Official Residence ( reminds me the Israeli Knesset ) |
 |
| National Theatre ( photo from Wikipedia) |

| Supreme Court ( photo by Caspar Borkowsky) |
