Day 7 – Tokyo

Day 7 – Tokyo

Started the day around the corner from our hotel with some Segafredo coffee and croissants, which was ok, but the thing that sucks about Japanese cafes is also what makes them authentic – it’s still ok to smoke in them.…

Day 6 – Hakone to Tokyo

Woke up to a beautiful sunrise out the window, we ate breakfast in our private dining room and then squeezed every last moment we could of the spa in the room before checking out. Instead of taking the van back…

Day 2 – Tokyo to Kyoto

Day 2 – Tokyo to Kyoto

Sleep came easily at the Courtyard by Marriott near Tokyo Station, but we knew it had only been a short stay when the guy who checked us in also checked us out. It takes about three and a half hours…
