Homeward Bound (from Japan)

Share
Our flight from Tokyo leaves at 7:30 tonight, but to be on time we have to leave the hotel at 1:30 pm.  We booked seats on the bus, and checked out at 10 am.  Sue and I discovered a place called "Aux Bacchanales" near the hotel actually does a very good imitation of a french brasserie, complete with nice coffee and croissants, etc.  We breakfasted there, then had a wander around the area.  The pachinko parlours look fascinating - a tremendous roar of noise emanates from within, and there is one beside the station where a lucky employee dances non-stop outside, seemingly all day and all night.

The bus ride was 90 minutes, taking us to Narita airport out to the NE of Tokyo.  We lunched at a rather basic sushi-train place we found.  Spent our last Japanese change on four neck pillows for the trip.
