10-05-08 Meeting with Toshiharu-san

On our second day in Tokyo we were guided around by Toshiharu-san (a friend of Ingrid), who took us early in the morning to a Sumo wrestling school to attend a training of the wrestlers. Very interesting to see this training from the warming-up to almost the end. After the training we were brought to a park in Tokyo where a small tea ceremony was brought to us.

Of course you may not miss the Imperial Palace Gardens. Though it became a bit rainy, it still is a pleasant place to be

Toshiharu-san brought both of us a very pleasant day in Tokyo, for which we thank him very much!!
