Bucky went to Tokyo

Bucky had a short trip to Tokyo with teacher's family.

It takes an hour by Tokaido-line train from Hiratsuka, our town, to Tokyo.


Took a bus to Akashicho from Tokyo station.




Akashicho, near Tsukiji ( a famous fish market )
 



Beautiful cherry blossoms!

 
Hanami party under the cherry blossoms.
 "Hanami (cherry blossom viewing)" in Japan often involves a picnic party to enjoy cherry blossoms as well as food and drinks. People have a Hanami party with friends, family or colleagues under the cherry tree and have fun. It seems the dazzling cherry blossoms in full bloom make many people get higher than usual. But there are manners and a certain way to have a Hanami party. And a good preparation may help you to enjoy the party even more. Why not enjoy spring in the Japanese way.






 
 
Sumida River tour boat, popular with tourists. 
We were heading to Odaiba area.
 
 








 
We would soon arrive at Odaiba.






 
Odaiba is in the waterfront area and a definite must-see place in Tokyo where the whole family can enjoy the day. The cool breeze from the sea enhances the joy of roaming around the popular place for entertainment, eating and shopping.


 
 
 
First, we went to Tokyo Water Science Museum!
A hands-on museum that introduces the wonder and importance of water from a scientific viewpoint, and develops an interest in water and water supply services, produced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Bureau of Waterworks.
 
 
 
 
 

A big bubble!  
 
 

 
Had a tea break.
It's a typical vending machine.
It sells both cold and hot beverages including corn soup.
 

 
Bucky chose Ume juice.
Ume is Japanese appricot.
 
Sweat and Sour!
 
 

Let's go to the next place, Bucky!
Risupia, located in the Panasonic Center of Tokyo, is a hands-on museum that enables you to experience the fascination of science and mathematics.
 
 

 


At the entrance you will receive Discovery Scope.
 

You go on a journey together with virtual Discovery Assistant
in the scope in your hands.
 


 
I could not take pictures after instruction how to use the scope.
They do not allow to take any photo inside the museum without the quest floor.
 
Please check the museum web-site, if you want to know about the facilities.
 
The quest floor.

 
 
RiSuPia is located in Panasonic Center Tokyo.
Nintendo Game Front is in the same building.
 
 
Super Mario Brothers!
 
Bucky plays Wii U.

 
After playing TV games, we found exciting works with La-Q block on the first floor of the center.

 
MAZINGER Z
Mazinger Z (マジンガーZ Majingā Zetto), known briefly as Tranzor Z in the United States, is a Japanese super robot manga series written and illustrated by Go Nagai.
 
 




 

At the end of this trip,
We took Yurikamome, mono-rail line from Ariake to Simbashi.
You can see a beautiful night view by the window.

  9. Manuel, do you like Nintendo Games, don't you? Haru, who was showing these pictures of Tokyo, loves too. He played the latest version of Kirby at the Nintendo Game Front. He looked really fun. I wish we could play it together.
