Afternoon stroll with a Tortoise.

We we’re walking home from Tsukishima this afternoon when we ran into an old man walking a tortoise.

The tortoise was quite happily following him along.

Apparently the tortoise is a Pyramided Sulcata, whose name is Bon-chan, he’s 15 years old and weighs 50kg. His owner is Hisao Mitami who runs a local funeral home. The tortoise is a bit of a local celebrity.
