Admiral Togo and Flagship Mikasa

I had a chance to visit Mikasa Park for the first time since April 2011, so I took many pictures there.

Mikasa was a battleship which was built in the United Kingdom and brought to Japan in 1902.

People who engaged in the construction of Mikasa in England.

Heihachiro Togo(1848-1934) was an Admiral who led Japanese Navy at Russo-Japanese War(1904-1905). At the time of the war Mikasa was used as a flagship.

I posted only a few pictures which I enjoyed at Mikasa Museum in Yokosuka. You will be able to enjoy more if you go to the museum.



Finally, Tokyo Station was unveiled!

Tokyo Station was built in 1914.

Because of rain and wind the station building had been eroded, so it underwent a cosmetic surgery. Tourists who came to Tokyo couldn't see the building during the surgery.
Then Tokyo Station was unveiled.

I hope you to enjoy the station building. In the vicinity of the station, there is Tokyo Central Post Office.

Your airmails to Japan are collected here and distributed from this post office.

Then, I saw a colorful bus, parking near Tokyo Station. 
What do we believe? Yes. We believe Japanese atheletes to win as many gold medals as possible in London.
