On Thursday, we had a tour of the Imperial Palace grounds. Tyler's parents had flown in the day before, so he was out and about with them. (Thompson family pictures coming soon.) All in all, it wasn't the most exciting tour ever, but it was still a neat experience. It started raining near the end, so we didn't get a chance to go to the Imperial Palace East Gardens, Kōkyo-Gaien, but we'll definitely be going back at some point.
