saki, me, ian, alyssa, and john at the Jodo Shu Main Temple
A few days ago, IES and the epals took us on a field trip into downtown Tokyo. As pictured above, one of the biggest attractions was the Jodo Shu Main Temple. It is incredible. We were lucky enough to witness a supposedly rare Buddhist spring song ceremony. Also, right behind the temple is Tokyo tower, which we also got to go to. This is really the last week of sakura so all the trees are in full bloom, with petals all over the ground. It feels magical and movie like. Needless to say, I am bummed that they are going to shed completely soon and thus, start the rain season. With that, another picture of the area, and I need to begin my new day after a very long (but very awesome) night.
