Japan is known for having lots of national holidays and today was one of them. April 29th is Showa Day. This national holiday was established as a day to reflect on the events of the Shōwa period. It also marks the start of Golden Week and as a result Kan has off work today, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week! Today in Ginza (a prominent shopping district with stores not many people can afford) a street was closed and decorated with tulips. The weather was beautiful outside so Miyako and I walked to Ginza from our place and checked out the tulip display. Unfortunately Kan could not join us as he was busy putting together furniture. We had a lovely time being outside and on our walk home a store was handing out balloons. When the man offered one to Miyako she started wailing. I guess he got too close. So, in response he gave us a stuffed animal. :) Enjoy the pictures.
