This morning we got up and packed repacked our bags before
walking to the airport and checking in at 7, we then returned to the YHA to
take advantage of the free breakfast offered to us and check out and then once
again walked to the airport. Upon arriving at the airport I realized that the
battery in my watch had died. The flight was pretty good, nice food and what
not, part way through Krish was adjusting his headrest and it fell off so we
had to move seats, just something a little bit interesting to brighten up the
trip.
Upon arriving in Japan we cleared immigration and collected
our bags without much of a wait. Finding the JR ticket office was a little bit
of a challenge, as my map said 3rd floor, but in the airport
building the 3rd floor was a food court, turns out that is was on
the 3rd floor of the train station. After asking for help and
finding the ticket office we got our JR passes and did the first few of our
booking, I didn’t do them all as there was a line behind us and it was getting
late, and I knew we still had an hour on the trains plus about a 20min walk to
get to our hotel.
The train trip to JR namba went well including the transfer
which I was a little uncertain about, but then finding our hotel once we got
out of the station was a bit of a challenge, the issue there is that most train
stations have multiple exits and if you dint take the right one the
instructions which you have to get you where you want to go will be completely
useless.
We found our hotel with out to much confusion though, and
checked in fine, I had to ask for the package that had been posted to the hotel
for us, but once I asked it was produced for us very quickly,… the package was
our pocket wifi that we have hired for our time here.
This hotel room is rather nice, it would want to be
considering how much we paid for just 1 night, its our most expensive room the
whole trip.
After dropping our bags in the room we went for a walk to
find some dinner, and to explore dotonburi.
