Japan - Back to Tokyo

In anticipation of our tour starting on Wednesday, we’ve returned to Tokyo to soak in a little more cosmopolitan vibe and enjoy our free time before the tour. Today, we woke to a lovely rainstorm that helps to explain the lush landscape around the Hokone area.  And, we had another wonderful breakfast at the ryokan before departing to the train station to return to Tokyo. Fortunately, the rain abated as we departed and our short walk from the train station to our next hotel was drama free. So far, we’ve explored 2 of the four lounges that we have access to through our hotel. They offer Breakfast from 7-10, Tea Time from 10-5, Cocktail Time from 5-7, and Nightcap Time from 7-10. Who needs to leave the hotel?

‘Snack’ from the lounge to accompany the sake flight…

You don’t get the true effect, but this should be a video of the bullet train…
