Departure Day

Our first flight from Ottawa to Toronto was at 9:00 AM on the morning of February 15. We left the Toronto airport for Japan a few hours later.

We landed in Haneda airport, in the middle of a rainy Tokyo, after a 14-hour long flight. It was 4 PM.

Taking in the sights of Tokyo as we rode the bus to the hotel was an experience in itself, but walking around the city later was amazing. The first thing that strikes you is how clean and organized the city is.

At the hotel, we were offered bento for dinner and were invited to explore the city in small groups, as long as we came back to the hotel by 11PM. The little group I joined decided to go to Akihabara!
