We are now in Tokyo and getting here was a bit of a pain. First we took a taxi to the train station in Hong Kong, then the train to the airport, then took a four hour flight to Tokyo airport, where we then boarded another train, and finally another taxi to our hotel. Tokyo is located at 35 degrees north and 139 degrees east. Being further north than both Singapore and Hong Kong, we're much cooler on this step of our journey. It has been raining ever since we arrived and it is so misty that we can barely see out of our hotel window.
The first thing I noticed was that the streets are wider than in Hong Kong and there is slightly more shrubbery, which was pleasing. It is more crowded than Singapore but less crowded than Hong Kong. Our late arrival and the dreary rain means we haven't gone exploring yet but I will keep posting until I leave on Thursday.
hi Aidan, you're lucky you get to go to tokyo. I wish i could go.
