Tokyo Temple!! :)

We were so so lucky to go to the temple with our little branch here. We took the trains there and back and really we had no clue where to go just followed our dear friends basically blindly, the trains are super confusing especially in Tokyo because there are so many. It took us about an hour and a half. We went to an English session, but for baptisms there were 5 people from our branch and then the rest were Japanese, only one of the workers spoke english and so it was very confusing to find everything. There really was such a strong spirit there and it amazes me all the time that the gospel is here too, just in a different language. ha ha
The temple was built in 1980 the same year as the seattle temple so the fixtures and overall architexture reminded us of the Seattle Temple. There was no space around the temple at all. It was the side walk and street right next to the gate walk 5 steps and you hit the temple doors. haha
