In Toyko we enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the city (Akihabara, Shibuya, Tsukiji fish market); the quite tranquil spaces (Imperial Palace East Garden & Koishikawa Korakuen Garden); the many museums and of course the various food styles uniquely Japanese. Sapporo was less hectic but allowed us to try out Sushi bars and Karaoke. The highlight of the holiday however was the spectacular scenery and wildlife of Hokkaido's national parks having the good fortune to have seen, brown bear, red-crown cranes, deer, foxes and eagles.
