Time for Tokyo...

After taking the bus from Hakuba to Nagano station we got the bullet train straight to Tokyo, which took an hour and a half! Navigating the metro in Tokyo wasn't too tricky considering the complexity of it's map!! And there were staff around the ticket machines who were really helpful - very unlike my experience of China. We met a man in the lift up to the street at our final destination who get chatting to us about where we were from and how long we were here for and then told us the way to go to our hotel; great first impressions of Tokyo. We stayed in an APA Hotel (popular in Japan) in Sengakuji which was a quieter suburb of Tokyo but still only 10mins to the more hustle and bustle which was great. Just explored our little area for some food and then an early night ready for more adventures in the morning.
