Last day in Tokyo (and Japan)

November 5th, 2016.

Last night we had dinner in So/ra/si/o on the 46th floor of the Siodome building. Not only was it a lovely meal and impeccable service, but the views of the lights of Tokyo were spectacular.

We went for a walk in the area around our hotel, Villa Fontaine in Roppongi. It is a decidedly upmarket area and home to various embassies and many expatriates.
High rise and little gardens in Roppongi.

Pampered pets in Roppongi.
Hope the dogs in the previous image are not guilty of this!
Gardens of the Spanish Embassy.
A little shrine tucked away in a corner.
A fairly austere church

but the stained glass is labelled in Greek?
We did not find this on the shelf in the supermarket and would have avoided it.
A bit hard to read, but sensible advice about mobile phone use.

Now back to hibernation after a most enjoyable and interesting two weeks in Japan. Everybody was so polite and helpful including the stranger who insisted on giving me his umbrella when it was almost raining in Ginza.

    1. No, they were in the paying part I think and we had run out of energy by then
