10307

Went to the Shirokanedai area yesterday.

The last time I was in this area was two years ago.

Love the reflection on the side of the building.
 

Wanted to try some chocolates from Cacaocat, a chocolate company from Hokkaido
Crossing Gaien Nishi Avenue

(Photos uploaded wonky) I bought some chocolates by weight, 703 yen (tax included) for 6 pieces.

Love that they gave me a "chocolate map" so that I would know what flavors I chose.

They gave me one piece free...whoo!

Been wanting to check out the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien (Garden) Art Museum.

This is the former residence of Prince Asaka.

I wasn't interested in seeing the art being displayed, so I only paid to enter the garden...200 yen (adults)

Huge red pine
Japanese garden and tea house called Koka
Beautiful reflection
Huge ginkgo tree
Huge kaki (persimmon) tree
"Wind" by Kan Yasuda
It was a beautiful day.
Grabbed some items for lunch from Himmel.

Baked curry pan
and Kouign Amann

It was nice to be out and about.

Afterwards, I realized I missed seeing a few things around the garden, so I'll try to go back during the Spring, when more flowers should be blooming too.
