Leaving Japan

We leave Japan late this evening so we spent the day redoing some Tokyo sights, riding the subway, and browsing the shops and arcades. We had stowed our luggage with the hotel so we were unencumbered. Our 72 hr subway pass expired at 2pm so we made the most of it until then travelling to Ueno, Shibuya and back to the observatory before having a late lunch/snack of dumplings and rice at Asakusa. We wandered about the Sensoji Temple area before returning for our luggage. We packed our last minute purchases, put our Fox wifi rental in its package for posting and set out for the subway. We had done a reconnaissance and found the best subway entry with an elevator (some stations have many long stretches of stairs). We boarded a train at Asakusa which took us all the way to Haneda Terminal 3 for our flight home.Read more
