Day 1 - GC - Narita - Asakusa

Trip 6 has begun. Flew out of the GC on Saturday. All great on Jetstar, even arrived 15mins early, but then had to eait for our planes parking spot. Got through the easier with the printed copies of qr codes. Had purchased travel sims, and finally got them working in the immigration line. Took a bit for the ski bags to come out. So we were headed out the exit near 8pm.

What threw me however was the fact we landed at terminal 2, previously it had always been terminal 3. So that made sending all our luggage to Shiga Kogan via yamote easy. 9000ish yen for 2x ski bags, 2x rolling duffles. So our plans for our usual airport meal changed on the spot, mostly due to starving kids. Yoshinoya was right above us. Luckily they had a table for 4 waiting, so straight in, curry and pork bowls ordered, food was on the table in seconds. Dinner was 2,700.

We downed the food in record time as we wanted to catch the 8:28 train to Asakusa. But of course one of our kids is now an adult being 12, so stopped to buy a new suica card and top up ours. Our quick dash had us through the JR gates, oops, we wanted Keisei, so a quick turn around was done, and 2 mins til the train, we dashed, and made it to the platform with the train already there.

After a quick train change at Aoto, we lead one sleepy child and one excited child past Sensoji to our hostel where we ended our day at 11:30 our time. Long day, but we are back in Japan!!!Meer informatie
