We had planned to get the 8:30 train, but due to the train being full we had to wait until 9:30. Not ideal, but it gave us time to get a coffee and sit. We set off as per schedule, but compared to the Super Hokuto from Shin-Hakodate to Sapporo a couple of days before, this one seemed to be super bumpy, so we were all feeling slightly nauseous by the time we reached Shin-Hakodate to change to the bullet train. Also, it's hella long. Fairly scenic as you pass by mountains, the coastline and other bits, but nearly 4 hours on a train is annoying when it's noisy, and bumpy.
Once we changed trains, I got a bento and a whiskey and soda, and booked our night's accommodation before I decided to fall asleep, as its really hard to photograph things when they're whizzing by at 300km/h or so. I only slept for about an hour though, so it was around Mori when I woke up. Then I typed up the previous 5 days post, That was it until we got to Tokyo.
We weren't quite hungry yet, but decided to hang around Yaesu mall. Whitney and Amber headed to Lush, while Mum and I headed to Liquors Hasegawa. I couldn't get any wifi signal (Whit had the pocket wifi) so I couldn't see what I previously tried. Plus I just wasn't feeling it. I tried a rather lacklustre Bunnahabhain, before we ran out of time. We decided to walk back to Bubby's. It's a little expensive, but I do love their apple pie. and their cherry pie... We got some dinner before ordering dessert though, and soon I was starting to get tired because of food digesting.
We meandered our way back to the Marunouchi side of Tokyo, and caught the subways to Jimbocho. I could walk this in my sleep, as this would be the 5th or 6th time we've stayed at the Sakura. Clean, comfortable, and accessible. We got our room (Room 304 again, I'd recognise that iron burn mark on the carpet anywhere.) . We showered, repacked bags, then crashed out for the night.
