Here's a collection of a variety of photos from our first week in Japan, mostly in Tokyo. We spent time with Yoshi Funato and family and Teruko Kumei, who were great hosts. Saw a lot of sights and had many great meals of authentic Japanese food. Highlights included the Tokyo metro area, Nikko, Kamakura, Sumo, and Japanese Baseball. Expect more photos in a few days!
