OW - Thank you, I actually didn't know that. Very useful context.
Is there anything in particular that might be fun to do that weekend? I was last in Tokyo a couple weeks later in the year and had the luck of being able to visit the Emperor on his open day in the Palace Grounds, which was pretty amazing.
