Arrived at Tokyo yesterday at 2:35 PM. Clearing customs was super fast and easy. Figuring out the train to Sugamo was also not bad, but had a bit of difficult at first since Google maps didn’t recognize my hotels address (apparently because it’s super new). But after loading my Suica card with 1000 yen (which had a previous balance of 500 yen), I was ready to go!
I met up with Ben at Sugamo station, and we headed to my hotel. We were planning to go to the on-sen at my hotel, but they didn’t open till 5pm, so we check out his place.
After chilling for a bit, we went back to my hotel, and check out the on-sen. For the most part, it was similar to the Korean Spa we tried in New York, but slightly better.
After the on-sen we made our way to Shinjuku for dinner (a really good Izakaya Place) and bar hopping.
We then walked around Shinjuku for a bit. One of the two following pictures brought back some bad memories from my last Tokyo trip:
Then we went to Tokyo Tower for some pics (fortunately the skies cleared and it stopped raining):
