New Year's Day

We found a great local place today for gyoza and fried rice.  After eating, we visited Yanaka Cemetery.  It was really beautiful, and great weather.  We wandered around for a while and visited the grave of Yoshinobu Tokugawa, who was a major force in the Meiji Restoration.

Afterward, we went to Tokyo Sky Tree... only to discover that it was swamped with tourists.  We got there around 3:30 pm, but would have had to wait four hours just to buy a ticket to go up.  Not worth it.  We took some pictures from outside, but I think we'll wait for another trip to actually go up it.  We'll do TMG or Sunshine City for an observation tower this trip.

On the way home, we picked up lots of gyoza and more fried rice for dinner.  Yum!
