Japanese Dollhouse - Tokyo, Japan

While in Japan I stayed at the Sawonoya Ryokan – an oasis surrounded by the old neighborhoods of Tokyo near Ueno Park.  This collection of wooden dolls in the lobby of the Ryokan were a nice touch to the atmosphere.  This neighborhood was not like the rest of bustling Tokyo, it was quiet and calm with few tourists.  The Ryokan was a unique experience; it not only provided me a place to sleep which met my budget in Tokyo, but it provided insight into the Japanese culture.
