Arrival in Japan

After a short stopover in Guangzhou airport, we arrived in Tokyo Haneda airport. Going through customs was a bit of an epic with the lines going back into the causeway for the gates (causing airport staff to have to turn off the travelator to stop people from getting squashed). Fortunately we were well prepared and managed to get through unscathed, and after a short one and a half hours (and walking in lines we estimated to be 1.5km) we made it into Japan!

We then caught the metro towards our hotel, which Vela did a great job booking as it is just a 2 min walk from the subway station. After refreshing ourselves in our room we hit the streets to find dinner.

Vela located a cute little Japanese grill restaurant which had a range of delicious meats and offal to try. On the way home we stopped by a convenience store and grabbed a couple of little treats.

Early night after a big travel day. Looking forward to beginning our exploration of Tokyo tomorrow!Leia mais
