graveyard

Went to the national museum. Turns out I'm not a huge fan ancient Japanese art. Aside from hundreds of cool Buddhas it was not my cup of tea. The park that surrounds it is incredible. A much less boring version of central park. I went looking for the emperors cemetery and ended up in a huge private one by mistake. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Every grave is like a mini monument. They all have tiny bonsai trees growing and people show their respect by watering the monuments. I knew I wasn't supposed to be there so I didn't take too many pictures out of respect. I spent a good hour wandering around in awe.

note: the skyline pictures were taken from the cemetery
