Happy Monday

Today was Japanese Coming-of-Age-Day, another Happy Monday holiday. &;-)

I have to say, the system is quite nice. Additionally, if a national holiday falls on weekend, the following Monday becomes a holiday.

Because the weather was nice, I put on warm clothes and went out riding my bicycle.

Past a temple, and a girl celebrating her coming of age.


I found my self in a tight space between 4+2 lanes of highway and 4+4 lanes of a major road!


The gates to the Imperial Palace look nice


And the temples along the way are beautiful


Or to be precise, the beauty of Tokyo is hidden in the details...
