Our flight arrived in Tokyo on time at 1:15 p.m., we cleared customs and made our way to the main hall to buy metro tickets. It was a scramble to find the right line, the right ticket, and the right train. Can you find Larry in the crowd?
We did get tickets and promptly got on the wrong train! After a few stops we realized our mistake, regrouped, and eventually found our way to the station nearest our hotel…Shimbashi Station.
Our hotel is the Ginza neighborhood. The room is small and efficient as is common in Japanese hotel rooms. Nearby is a 7 Eleven, a Family Mart, and a Lawsons…all convenience shops that sell take out foods, toiletries, and snacks.
We have a nice night time view of this part of the city.
It’s Friday morning here and the day is cloudy with rain in the forecast. We will take our umbrellas ☔️ , pack our plastic ponchos, and head out soon.
We had a good nights sleep and we’re ready to explore!
