Yo everyone, so I know I am bit late posting this, so without further delays, I want to tell you a little about what I will be doing in Tokyo and how I will be getting there.

After I travel out of Manchester Airport it will be about 20 hours and 25 mins (Manchester to Abu Dhabi - 7 hours, Stop over ~ 3 hour 25 mins, Adu Dhabi to Narita - 10 hours) and I won't land there till 13:00 JST (Japan Standard Time)

The Hotel that is booked for Tokyo is called Hotel Tavinos Asakusa which is a Anime themed hotel based in the Taito Ward (Formerly know as Asakusa before it merged with Shitaya back in the 1940's) (https://hoteltavinos.com/en/asakusa)

Some of the things on my to do in Tokyo are Go Karting around Akihabara, going up the Tokyo Skytree and going to a 1 Star (Michelin) ramen restaurant called 'Sosakumenkobo NAKIRYU' and having a bowl of ramen for about £8-9

I had planned to go to the Studio Ghibli Museum, but trying to get the tickets was a nightmare and was all sold out by the time I got out of the queue on the website.

Fun Fact: Narita Airport is about 50 miles away from the centre of Tokyo (I'll be getting a train there)
