Just a quick post before I collapse into bed to say we are here in Japan. The flight was uneventful and passport/customs etc went smoothly. Then we had our first experience of Tokyo by riding a monorail and then a train filled with locals to our hotel. Even at 11 o’clock at night, the streets are full of people and activity.
A few pics of first impressions, Japanese iconic sights, and our hotel.
