On this day, the grounds of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo open to the public. Tomorrow will be crowded, as are most Japanese holidays, so I was out today for an important errand: adding pages to my passport. It was a clear and sunny day in Tokyo. First, I stopped in Shinjuku for a little window-shopping, then took the subway to the US Embassy.
Tameike-Sanno subway stop near the embassy. I've been to the embassy three times before. Security is tight, but the people are friendly and helpful.
Convenient store ("convini") snacks. By some magic (or science), these sit at room-temp. and are safe to eat.

Merry Christmas from Tokyo Metro!
Winter illumination at Moritown
(near our place - it's where we catch the train into Tokyo)
Can you see why we love going to Moritown Mall?

Jeff was home recovering from his cold, so I finished the day caroling and having dinner with special friends.
