Entrance going to Mejing Shrine
Here we actually are at Meijing Shrine.
Just taking a break - restin' the feet.
Kali is nursing her monstrous blisters she got from the 10 mile+ trek we went on. So worth it though.
How about that bite of garlic?
This was Perry's spicy bowl. It was actually really yummy.
Loved the Tokyo Temple!!
Awaiting the arrival of our noodles.
This was the coolest subway sign. It said "Women only" So each day from a certain time for about a two hour period only women were allowed on this train.
This drinking fountain shot straight up. We were supposed to drink only bottled water but we sampled the drinking fountains when we ran out because it was so humid and hot.
This was in a temple by the Fish Market. The fisherman would go in here and have a prayer ritual. It was interesting to watch.
Yea for business elite! What a great experience. Probably the best I have had yet. Definitely going to look for more 777 routes.
We did a whirlwind trip to Tokyo Japan. It started off super fun with all of us getting business elite from LAX to Haneda on Delta's 777. They were lay flat beds with personal TV's, yummy delicious food despite what Kali tells you and lots of fun perks. We landed in Haneda at 4:30 am and went hard and strong until midnight. I don't think I have ever been so exhausted in all my life. I have never experienced so much humidity as we did there. It was exhausting, however we didn't let it slow us down.
First we went to the Fish market where they sell 500-600 pound tuna's. We were just a little late for the auction but the hustle, bustle of the market was exilerating. Sushi everywhere! Then we went to Hibaya park, followed by a tour around the Imperial Gardens. We even got to see the Imperial palace from a distance. No visitors allowed. We saw Tokyo tower from a distance. We didn't quite get to the base.
We went to Times Square and saw the busiest pedestrian interesection in the world. It was massive amounts of people. Picked up a yummy pastry from Cozy Corner that was a must have. It was delicious!! Then onto an authentic Noodle house where the no one spoke a lick of English. We just pointed at the menu and ordered. It was so good.
Onward we found the temple only by asking someone where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint Temple was - no LDS or Mormon. She didn't know what we were talking about. But as soon as we said the other her eyes lit up and she pointed around the corner and sure enough there it was. This was probably the highlight of the trip. Tiny temple surrounded by millions of people. Imagine the amount of missionary work that could be done.
We went to the 45th floor of the Govt building which had a 360 view of Tokyo. On a clear day you could have even seen Mt. Fuji. We went for a ride around Tokyo on the famous JR line to take a 45 minute rest and then ended with a trek to Meijing Shrine and a tour of Teen Tokyo. I saw more pink hair, mini skirts and high heels along with glassless glasses and piercings. Very interesting view.
The day ended with a bit of a challenge. Perry and Kali made the flight back to SLC but I got bumped along with 4 of my fellow SkyWesters. So we slept all night in the Haneda airport and trekked our way over to Narita for a quest to get home. After several tries we all eventually got one different flights and ended up meeting up in LAX. I arrived home about 15 hours after Perry.
Would I do an insane trip like this again??? Absolutely!!! It was beyond exhausting but an absolute blast. I think we are addicted. Where are we going next??
