I walked from Shinjyuku station to Tokyo station.

I long to walk from the Shinjuku station to the

 Tokyo station for long time.

Therefore, I decided to do it in this morning.

  

I got off at the Shinjuku station.

I saw some tulips though in winter.  

The Japanese imperial palace is the place where the Edo castle
existed during the age of old Edo era. 

This picture was taken at out of the palace, but
maybe someone wonder where I took this picture.

Everybody can trip to the age of the old Edo era if
they visit the palace garden.

Mismatch between the old fashioned castle wall and
the cutting-edged skyscrapers.

Finally, I reach the Tokyo station, which has a nostalgic outlook. 

There was a kind of Wi-Fi communication malfunction.
Thus, I couldn't use Skype there.

I went to a newest big shopping mall.

In this weekend, we have straight three days holidays,

because next Monday is Coming-of-Age Day.

Coming-of-Age Day is the original January 15. 

However, Monday is a holiday as Happy Monday.

Yesterday, I went to a  a newest big shopping mall.

It's located in Tachikawa city, west side of Tokyo metropolitan.

It was so big, brilliant and interesting.

I ate  a OKONOMIYAKI, which is thin, flat cake of unsweetened
butter fried with various ingredients.

And, great sunset.

I went to a crowded shrine yesterday.

Yesterday, I went to two of the shrines: 

The Meiji- jingu shrine and

The Takahata-fudo shrine.

I took some pictures in the latter shrine.

I'll show some pictures.

I'd love to introduce my new year's card 2016.

Japanese like to send new year card.

Every year, I'm in trouble that which photographs

 I might choose for it.

I'll show my new year's card in 2016.

I paid attention to select the happiest blissful photos.  

When I chose these for my new year's card.
I picked up some extra photos.

I'd show runner-up photographs.

I moved from Nagano prefecture to Tokyo.

I saw the beautiful sky with Jet cloud.

I saw a nice commercial board.

Hello kitty wore a kimono on a commercial board.

We bought some packs of apple Daifuku
(a soft round rice cake stuffed with sweet bean jam).

I ate it on my car.

A happy new year

We welcomed new year in Nagano prefecture.

I took this picture in Suwa parking area
on the Chuo express way. 

In new year's day, adults give "Otoshidama(money)" to children
They use small bags to pass money to children.
I was surprised that the bags were sold in a highway parking.

In the parking area,
I saw a conveyed bread basket hunged from a rail.
