After a twelve hrs flight, we finally made it to Japan, landing at Haneda airport now the tricky part of our journey to our hotel begins, there is 3 option you have, a train, buses or taxis I have to admit selecting any one of these options and not knowing the language would be daunting but we were prepared for anything, and beside it wasn't fair on my wife dragging our luggage around so we opted for a taxi. I must admit what I saw of Tokyo I was impressed wide and smooth road, a metro rail flying above us, and oh yeah, they have no litter bins, the pavement or sidewalk are so clean, how do they do it, put London to shame, anyway we arrived at the NIPPON SEINENKAN HOTEL TOKYO, we were impressed by the layout, on the ground floor they have an American themed cafe, the food was good, the hotel rooms are small which I hear Japanese hotel are like this, the hotel restaurant was reasonable and the price was affordable, the Japanese love their gadget, like self demisting bathroom mirrors and a toilet seat that open when they sense you, made me laugh, there is a train station 5 min walk called Gaiman, you will be impressed by this area, they have 3 stadium on that stretch of that road, and then you hit min metropolis amazing PLACE TO GO, Metropolitan govt building is free, and you can see japan from the 47th floors, spectacular view, sky tree is another attraction tall building but is not free, brilliant view, the subway is just easy to navigate and clean and the star attraction is the Shibuya crossing or the scramble crossing as we call it, japan is a fascinating country don't be put off by the language barrier, Japanese are happy to practice their English on you if the occasion arises. We will be going there again most definitely
