After being entertained by the Shimbashi clock, Pat, Gary, Bill and I walked to the nearby Hama Rikyu Garden. The garden is alongside Tokyo Bay. There is a 300 yen fee to enter the garden. We were able to use a free English audio guide which explains the garden and its history.

The center of attraction was the field of rapeseed (canola) flowers that were blooming. There are over 300,000 plants of rapeseed.

We had a wonderful time with good friends, Pat and Gary. We were so glad that they were able to share in our experience in Japan.
