Back in Tokyo! Where people have actually heard of the internet rather than having to walk 20+ minutes to the nearest 'net cafe or in Hakone where people just scratched their heads and shrugged their shoulders.

Had some good times in Kyoto, day tripped out to Osaka and then bullet trained it to Hakone which was deep in the mountains but the weather held thankfully. Now back in Tokyo where I've already done some shopping and aiming to do more tomorrow. The hotel is awesome but I've just seen a sign that limits me to 20 minutes on this PC so better skidaddle. A few photos for you. More tomorrow likely.

Not long before I'm back to normality now!

I was planning on going to the castle and Dotombori but unfortunately it was absolutely pouring that day (the only day of the holiday it rained) so I went to Den Den Town and had a wander there and then the aquarium in the afternoon.

DDT was nice with a different feel to Akihabara but it was a lot more seedy, far more shops with skin showing and big "18+" signs plastered on them in between multi-level anime knick-knack stores. One specialised almost entirely in keyrings, with everything from Moyashimon to sentai shows to Godzilla.

The aquarium I didn't really care for, the tanks seemed very small in comparison to the critters they contained so it was a bit disheartening walking around it. May have just been my perception though.
At least they gave you a PC; that sounds like a nicer hotel. What did you go see in Osaka.
