Day 2


Day 2: Although today was originally planned for the Kamakura study visit, the tyophoon was scheduled to roll into Tokyo so plans changed and we went to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. It was really interesting to learn about the transformation from Edo into Tokyo as Japan increased its foreign influences and the Meji restoration modernized Japan.
The famous bridge in Tokyo called the Nihonbashi recreated in the museum.

The first ever taxi in Japan. It looks so fancy!
