Last Day

Last day today, and we have been greeted with a beautiful clear day, finally we are able to see Mt Fuji (just to the right of Tokyo Tower). With a few hours to spare we decided to have a walk around the local area and head to the nearby Hamarikyu Gardens. Once we eventually got there we realised there was a (small) admission fee and more walking around once we got inside, so decided not to go in. We headed back and enjoyed our final lunch in Japan (we had Maccas) before heading to Tokyo Station to get on the Narita Express.

At Tokyo Station I took the opportunity to limp outside and take a look at the building which I think is one of the nicest in Tokyo. We then caught the Narita Express back to the airport where we picked up our bag (couriered from Nozawa Onsen) and checked in. The travel insurance has granted me upgrade to business class (but not Sally) so we are in the business lounge waiting for our flight.

Despite the knee, this has been an fantastic holiday, I can't wait to come back to this gorgeous country and explore more of it's nature, cities, food and culture.Read more
