All Craig wanted for Father's day was pizza and karaoke so that's exactly what he got! 🍕🎤♥️ . . . . . . . . . #fathersday #fathersanddaughters #daddysgirl #karaokenight #pizzafan #discovertokyo #exploretokyo #3Zimmigos

We found another cool immersive art experience - teamLab Planets. While teamLab Borderless was mainly immersive digital art, this one was immersive in a more tactile manner. Visitors go through the museum barefoot and physically interact with the art in various rooms; some filled with water, floating light filled orbs, or plush floors that you sink into. Our favorite was the giant pond with digital koi swimming throughout. . . . . . . . . . . . . #teamlabplanets #immersiveart #traveltokyo #exploretokyo #discovertokyo #3Zimmigos

Our time in Tokyo is winding down so we're trying to take in everything we haven't seen yet. We visited Miraikan, the museum of science and innovation. The exhibits were kind of intense; we had a hard time trying to explain quantum computing and the many uses of iPS cells to Adele. 😵 . 🎏 We enjoyed the special exhibit about mammoths. Did you know that mammoths became extinct only 4000 years ago? There is also current research where scientists are working to reactivate mammoth cells from specimens found in Siberia! 🐘 . 🎏 The highlight of the museum for us was ASIMO! The purpose of developing ASIMO was to create robots that would coexist and assist people. I think the concept of a future with robots was ingrained in my generation (Gen X) so it was such an amazing thing to see for me and Craig. 🤖 . . . . . . . . . . #miraikan #asimo #sciencenerd #exploretokyo #discovertokyo #igjapan #3Zimmigos

Another day, another animal cafe. This time it was cats. Adele and Craig LOVE cats so they were in heaven. Thankfully, the cats left me alone and the cafe was so nice that I actually enjoyed myself. 😸 . . . . . . . . . . #mochacatcafe #animalcafe #exploretokyo #discovertokyo #igjapan #3Zimmigos

Sunday funday - . 🎏 Texans eat tacos in Tokyo! And let me tell you, we were pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of these tacos. I see a return visit before we leave. 🌮 . 🎏 A stroll through Meiji Jingu shrine where we saw several Shinto weddings and centuries old bonsai. ⛩️ . 🎏 Rockabilly dancers at Yogogi Park. Rockabilly is one of many subcultures in Tokyo having gained popularity about twenty-five years ago. The different crews gather on Sundays at the park to dance. . . . . . . . . . . . . #yoyogipark #japaneserockabilly #meijijingushrine #casadesarasa #exploretokyo #discovertokyo #igjapan #3Zimmigos

Y'all, I didn't know animal cafes were a thing until we came to Japan. My close friends and family know that I am not an animal person but Craig and Adele insisted we visit the hedgehog cafe in Shinjuku. It wasn't my thing but they loved it so that made me happy 🦔. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #hedgehogcafe #animalcafe #itsanoforme #visitjapan #exploretokyo #discovertokyo #landoftherisingsun #igjapan #3Zimmigos
