Japan, part one

Hello!!!
We are actually on our tour in Japan, visiting Innina's family and the country. We have spend already over a week in Tokyo, shopping and walking in the beautiful little streets, wandering around...
It was nice to see my wife's grandmother again, meet her uncle and his family! This city is so huge, the mixed architecture is amazing, small houses caught between giant buildings, and the people are so great...
Yeah everybody is just so polite and smiling in restaurants, hotels, cafes and shops...
After 8 days in Tokyo we left the city, took the Shinkansen super fast train to Karauizawa to meet Innina's aunt Kazuko and his husband Etsuo, who carves leather in traditional ways. We stayed 4 days there, and we had the honor to work in his atelier, he explained us how to carve leather and gave me some awesome presents!
Kazuko brought us to play pachinko, a loud and funny game with plenty of flashy lights and stuff... I'm sure I could get addicted really easy! It was fun, and we won!!! So we traded our gains for beer for the whole family :)
I love Etsuo and his family, there is a place right here in my heart for them and I can't wait to see them again, hopefully soon...
It was sad to leave them today, as we jumped in the Shinkansen again to go this time to Kyoto, where we are tonight...
Okay this was a lot to read, thank you for the patience you showed to read it all, here comes some pictures!

Otsukare sama deshita!!!
