Update

Not feeling too good right now.  I have pictures from another garden and Tokyo Disneyland that I hope to get up soon.  Got to see how I end up feeling today for DisneySea.

Botanical Gardens

I can't remember the exact name for these botanical gardens that we visited.

We did pass by several small shrines and gardens on the way.  This wasn't a shrine, just a garden to somebody's house.
The amazing part about these shrines is that they're just on the street.  Two completely modern buildings next to them.


Not sure why this small shrine had all these banners around it.
Inside the botanical gardens now.  It's about what you'd expect out of a botanical garden: lots of trees.

More things that would look really pretty in the spring.  There were still a decent number of people walking around.
Some flowers in bloom.
Behind a fence in one area, there was a cage full of crows.  I'm not sure why.  Even weirder, I think it might've been on property separate from the gardens.



Alex commented that it looks like spikes are coming out of this tree.
The bark on this tree reminded me of camoflauge.  So the best use of camoflauge would be to wear it in front of this tree.

I am almost 100% certain that the Japanese says a LITTLE more than that.

This tree reminded me of broccoli.
Fish.
Cat.
And finally, some of the trees were actually blossoming, so there was some color. Naturally, there was a crowd of people taking pictures of them.
