Ikegami Honganji is a Buddhist temple in Tokyo that has been around since the 13th century. The temple has a five story pagoda. There are at least two others in Tokyo and their design makes them pretty much earthquake proof.

Night Parade

Tokyo Disneyland has a reputation for putting on a spectacular night parade and the illuminated floats are certainly something to see. Normally the parade would be followed by fireworks but they were cancelled due to weather.  Japan has not only been experiencing high temperatures for this time of year but there has also been some strong winds.
