I went to Tokyo just for fun. When I got the air ticket two months ago, I had a task, but it vanished later. I met my eldest daughter and had a party with my acquaintances, whom I knew only on the internet. I met them for the first time, but we hit it off from the start. Their careers and present jobs were far different from mine and it made my knowledge widen. Such a meeting would offer mental and spiritual sustenance to me.
The Japanese style inn where we got together was located in one of the busiest areas of Tokyo, Shinbashi. This station is noted for the birth place of the train. The first railway track in Japan was constructed between Yokohama and Shinbashi. There's the steam locomotive square in front of Shinbashi station. An old locomotive is exhibited and it is often used as a designated spot.
