Japan 2015
Day 1, Wednesday, 8 July 2015
The first day was oriented around settling into the hotel, making a short walk, and finding something “interesting” to eat
Day 2, Thursday, 9 July 2015
A visit to the Japanese Sword Museum, Shibuya Crossing, and the Golden Gai
Day 3, Friday, 10 July 2015
Senso-ji Temple, Fish Market, and Kabuki Theatre!
A visit to the Senso-ji Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Tokyo, a non-early-morning visit to the big fish market, and a performance at the Kabuki-za in the evening
Day 4, Saturday, 11 July 2015
The #1 rule of travel in Japan is to not rent a car, and the corollary is to not drive in the countryside. So I took the airport bus back to the Narita airport to rent a car for some countryside driving.
Day 5, Sunday, 12 July 2015
A visit to the amazing Nagoya Castle. And then made more countryside driving.
Day 8, Wednesday, 15 July 2015
Kyoto, the Anagram Lover’s Tokyo
A visit in the old capitol of Japan, including to a colony of snow monkeys
Day 9, Thursday, 16 July 2015
Bullet Train back to Tokyo
My time in Japan was far far too short. Definitely on the revisit list. Took the shinkansen from Kyoto to Tokyo, then the airport bus to the Hilton Narita Airport hotel. I’ve found it to be wise to stay at the hotel near the airport the night before departure home.
