The Drive Down


Day One. We start our drive down to Tokyo from Misawa-Ishi , six of us in a step wagon, for everything else in Japan these are pretty large family vans that can seat up to eight quite comfortably, how comfortably we will find out as we get to Tokyo. We manage a pretty good drive, about 8hrs covering 660km ( you can legally drive at about 80km/hr on the expressways). We arrive still friends and only get lost once ending up in the Giza district, which was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. We manage to make it to the Rappongi district where we had pre-planned to pick my brother up at the Mori Tower an overly large building in the Rappongi district you can walk around it has a 360 degree viewing gallery so you can see all of Tokyo from it. After picking the brother up we head on over to The New Sanno to stay for a couple of nights while we explore Tokyo.
