Since I was staying in a Japanese style room. This was my bed for two nights! Took me back to sleeping on the floor as a kid for fun. I still like the floor, if I'm honest. Though my old bones might prefer my bed back home the most.

It's about two hours by train from the Fuji area which isn't too bad. They're all local lines and aren't nearly as quick as the Shinkansen. But it allows for taking some photos along the way!

I hadn't done any research into geography of Japan before coming here. It feels like there are mountains everywhere you go. Always a tunnel you go through to get somewhere by train. There's already so much underground in the larger cities I'm curious how long before the mountains are used as natural buildings or removed to make room! 

Tokyo Sky tree offers a nice view of the Tokyo sprawl. When you're walking around you never get to see Tokyo as a whole. It's such a concrete jungle.

Following day involved Ueno Park. A large area of museums, a zoo, and gardens.

And then the Imperial Palace East Garden.

Apologies for the shortness and lack of commentary. Flying home tomorrow so have to finish putting bags together. Guess it's time to say Sayonara!
