The parade was so impressive! Armored samurai, taiko drummers, and traditional dancers—such an amazing spectacle!

HOTEL METROPOLITAN TOKYO MARUNOUCHI
Directly connected to JR Tokyo Station's Nihonbashi Exit via a private elevator to the hotel lobby, this hotel offers unparalleled convenience, making it an ideal base for sightseeing. Located on the 27th to 34th floors of the 35-story Sapia Tower, it boasts spectacular views.
The building has a historic vibe, but the interior is modern and super comfortable.

Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter
The traditional streets of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter feature white walled warehouses, grid pattern walls, Namako-kabe, and rows of weeping trees, creating a beautiful and charming townscape. This harmonious and historic scenery is very popular with tourists.
The small bridges, flowing water, and willow trees create a picturesque and poetic scene. There are also lots of creative little shops. It's a perfect area for a relaxing stroll.

Togetsukyo Bridge
The bridge was built in the first half of the 9th century during the Heian period (794-1185). It has been washed out many times, but each time it has been rebuilt. It is said that the name was given by Emperor Kameyama in the Kamakura period (1185-1333), as the moon moved across the bridge as if it were crossing over it.
I thought it was a wooden bridge, but when I got closer, I realized it's actually made of reinforced concrete. The Oi River below has shallow, gentle water.
