Headed Down the Sumida River

Arrive, Hamarikyu Park

Located at the mouth of the Sumida River, it was opened to the public on April 1, 1946. The park is a 250,165 m² landscaped garden surrounding Shioiri Pond, the park itself surrounded by a seawater moat filled by Tokyo Bay. It was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shōgun Tokugawa family in the 17th century.

Lunch with Yuko at Adachi

One of the places Amy found online was Adachi.  The restaurant opens at noon.  Because of our schedule change, we were early.  We hung out at the 7-11 sown the block using the free WiFi.  Then moved to in front of the restaurant.  Our presence was noticed and the owner was very apologetic, even though she was not in the wrong at all, and gave us a gift of beautiful Japanese prints as we left.

The case to choose the sides.

Yuko and Amy at Adachi

Yuko was very helpful because there was not an English menu on the weekend.  There was a choice of 4 entrees, and then choose three sides from the case at the front.

One piece each of fried fish and fried chicken

Amy had miso mackeral, snails, and chicken livers for her sides.

I had raw tuna over rice, with spinach, yams, and green beans on the side
