Japan Visit 2010

Well we've arrived safely back in Tokyo.

The bullet ride up was great as expected. You can set your watch by these trains!

Luck is definitely on our side as we saw a snow covered Mount Fuji from the train - apparantly this rarely happens! I woke up from having a nap and there it was - something inside me must have sensed it!!

Our room in the Hilton is great - we have a separate seating area which is nice. We are on the 27th floor so have a good view over the western side of Shinjuku.

Dinner last night was in a restaurant recommended in Lonely Planet. I had mixed Tempura and Kobe beef which you cook at the table on a teppan. It was so good and I'm not sure I can go back to eating normal beef now! It just melted in the mouth.

We had a quick wander round Shinjuku to get our bearings - it's certainly more lively at night than Shiodome. Mind you having experienced Osaka we are not scared by it!!
