More specifically the Shinagawa neighbourhood of Tokyo. We arrived just in time to catch the tail end of the cherry blossom season in Tokyo, which made our walk really lovely. We all enjoyed being able to walk a little bit and look at the various parks and small streets. We found some of the canals in the area and explored a bit.
From experience we opted to very wisely stay near the airport after our long travel day. That meant we had to make our way from Narita Airport into Tokyo proper after packing up for the first of many times. This actually ended up working out well as the fast and efficient train system ensured we had on easy transfer to make. We got to our accomodation early but they let us leave our bags before fully checking in. Of course the combination of getting up early and the gentle rocking of the train meant some of us had a little rest. We all had a rest which made our first afternoon that much more pleasant.
We are embarking on our biggest adventure criss crossing the world. We started in comfort in the SMF lounge before taking a short flight to LAX. Our first real flight was to Tokyo with our favourite Singapore Airlines. We were all so very excited to be heading back to Japan and everything that entailed. To think that Japan was just the begining with so many more stops and wonderful people to see along the way. Stay tuned to see our adventure.
