Outbound to Gufu + Tokyo Japan, October 19-21, 2017
Western Tokyo + Musashino/Mataka
By: Judy M
During our final days in Tokyo, my host and I took the train in to the Hotel Gajoen Tokyo to enjoy the fantastic ikebana exhibit which is there for two months (ikebana: the Japanese art of flower arrangement).
It's famous wooden staircase of 100 steps in the old portion (from 1928) led us to seven gorgeous banquet rooms, all at different levels, where these displays were exhibited.
It was quite a climb, but well worth it. Fifty one schools were participating, with floral works swapped out weekly.
The rest of the building is very modern, & luxurious and has become one of Japan’s premier sites for elegant weddings and ceremonies, with gorgeous restaurants and art work and a beautiful garden and waterfall, so we took some time to wander around that area, too.
Quite a treat!
