We return to Tokyo on the bullet train (Shinkansen), arriving back early afternoon

And on the way back we once again saw Mount Fuji. This photograph is by Denis

We are spending our last night in a big modern hotel with handy access to the bus station for getting to Haneda Airport tomorrow.
At last we were reunited with all of our luggage – some of it had been forwarded to Tokyo a few days ago. I felt as if I’d been living in the same clothes for the last few days! So I spent some time repacking and preparing for our flight home. Then Denis and I went for a short walk (to the local Irish Bar).
Our rooms were on the 26th floor so we had some great views across the city.


We had a first rate evening meal in the hotel restaurant, including some proper fizz and some lovely wine.


And that brought our amazing holiday to an end. We have another early start and then we are off home via Heathrow and Manchester.
