Tuesday evening we all let our hair down, big thanks to @tokyoGringo for organising dinner 

[Madame Buttonfly]

Wednesday and yesterday were taken up mostly with fairly intense meetings about challenges faced and opportunities we want to pursue - for IH Japan, UK and the universe as a whole!

Meeting with Roots, China:

Back to our favourite Ton-Katsu restaurant in Shibuya:

Giles getting stuck in:

@obbigood Johnny was in charge of ordering, so we had plenty of great food (thank you, Johnny!):

After a rainy start to the week, the sun appeared yesterday - we had a meeting yesterday in Shinjuku and were close to the Gyoen National Garden (completed in 1906 for the Imperial Household and opened to the public in 1949).  A large and beautiful botanical park in the centre of Tokyo, we took an hour out to stroll and enjoy the sun, fresh air and lovely landscapes.

We caught the last of the cherry blossom:

Was thinking of you @twin (and Bobby)
