In just about one week Charles and I will be taking off for a week long vacation to Japan. We will probably stay in Tokyo the whole time, but may try to do a night in Kyoto.
We''ll be leaving September 6 and staying at the Hotel New Otani. We would like to take it easy, but have a few goals for the trip...
1. See the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney musical. We have tickets for September 9.
2. Geek out at Akihabara.
3. Check out Shibuya...and definitely get a picture of Hachiko!
4. Go to as many onsen as possible. Ooedo-Onsen seems like a must, but there are other more city onsen: Jakotsu-yu Onsen and Azabu Juban Onsen seem to be good options.
5. Maybe try to catch some sumo. The Grand Sumo Tournament season runs September 13 to September 27. According to this guide, it looks like some of the action starts early on the first day...like 8:20 AM. There are still some box seats for 4 available so I am wondering if we should try to the airport, check in super early, and maybe we could catch some action from about 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM before our flight at 5:30 PM.
Pictures and crazy adventures to come.
