I had time, however, before heading to the airport to stop for a final cup of tea in Tokyo at the coffee shop, Shibrewya, in the base of the Hotel Indigo, Shibuya.
I gazed aimless less at the cherry blossom tree shadows - and then realised they were painted on.
A gorgeous piece of street art right before my eyes that I'd passed many times but been too busy to notice.
It's funny that in one of the busiest parts of Tokyo, the biggest city on my trip, I found the quietest and most peaceful moment, proving I guess that we bring most of the energy to an experience with us.

ReplyDeleteI read you with going at your own pace - and finding good things, too.
ReplyDeleteI thought the bare trees were real on the other side of the street. I love the fisherman infuser. Too fun. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteSo did I for an embarrassingly long time! Ha!
DeleteGood to read you had a nice holiday. I've been getting suggested Japanese real estate on Facebook, no idea why but I do like their houses.

Wonderful, I can't wait to see Tokyo for myself - and maybe have a cup of tea there too!
ReplyDeleteA serene moment in a bustling megalopolis. I gues that illustrates very well the contrasts that are Japan! Thank you for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme, Lydia.
