Day 261: Aomori

Squad had a 5:45 pm flight and would be leaving from Shinjuku at 1:20pm. We spent the morning walking around the Shinjuku National Japanese Garden and looking at the ponds, shrubbery, and pagodas.

After exploring the park, we ate at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Madison was obsessed with the fatty tuna and we ordered like 6. We finally said goodbye to squad and jumped on a 3 hour train to Aomori.

Aomori is in the far north and we selected the location based on the JR line. Was not prepared for how cool the city was in terms of its ocean views and bridges. We got to witness an incredible sunset from the 9th story of our hotel.

Kieran was very tired so we tried to order him some pizza (more sushi for Mary of course). We couldn’t figure out the ordering system so we walked to the restaurant; the pizza would take 25 minutes so he waited at the sushi restaurant. Once the pizza was secure, we rested in the hotel and watched Resident Evil 8 to prepare our bodies for another two weeks in Japan.
