I look around where to eat dinner tonight. I am in Akasaka and there are many places to eat but eating alone was not easy. Lucky, I found Saizeriya, Italian food chain heart my hotel. I ordered a seafood salad and a meat spaghetti. I ordered bigger portion ... and it was too big. I found not finish it. I also ordered drink bar ... all you can drink soft drinks and coffee and tea.

All this for less than $1,600 (or $14). Not bad at all.

From Kobe to Tokyo

11月

4日

Kobe Airport

View of downtown Kobe

Skymark ... LCC airline. I like this airline.

Kobe is such a small airport.

Arrived at bus gate in Tokyo Haneda

The plain was about 50% full

Too monorail to Hamamatsucho

I could see Mt. Fuji in distance

It almost dark by 5:00pm

I arrived in Tokyo and checked into a hotel. Japanese yen is at the lowest in years which makes Japan trip mach less expensive. I flew from Kobe to Tokyo and my fair was 11,000 yen which is less than US$100. If i too a train, it would have costed 50% more.
