Kyoto back to Tokyo


Today we headed back to Tokyo because we fly out tomorrow.  It’s hard to believe our voyage is coming to an end.

The train ride back was grey and raining and once again we missed glimpsing the elusive Mt. Fuji.

Once relocated in our final apartment, we explored the new area.  Not much was open in this quiet section of Tokyo, so we decided to head further into the city.

After all these weeks of successfully maneuvering through the convoluted Japanese metro and train systems (*only once did we get on a subway going the wrong direction), we finally somehow managed to get stuck in a metro station without a ticket.  We got on using our train pass, but they wouldn’t let us out without a metro ticket.  After much discussion with a few metro officials (including a translator), we finally found one that let us out.

At last set free, we found a restaurant to celebrate our last night in Japan, Japanese-style, of course.



Our return trip to the apartment was without incident.
