So, after far too long I last went in 2007, I'm planning a trip to Tokyo this autumn  I've previously done Tokyo->Kyoto and Tokyo->Kyoto->Osaka but as they canceled the flight from Kansai airport to Heathrow I plan to stay in Tokyo which is fine as there's plenty to see and I've never really stayed there for long having done touring holidays previously. Still in the early stages of planning but fingers crossed I'll be out there in September. |

Lucky bugger!  I had my heart set on Tokyo this year, but it won't happen. There's always another time though, which will come some day! <3 |

I'm hoping I'll have saved enough to go some time in the next 2 years u_u;
Hope you have a fantastic time though!

All done and booked Slight change of plan in that I'm now doing 5 nights in Tokyo and 5 in Kyoto and flying via Schipol rather than Heathrow. Only 1h05 connection time in Amsterdam on the flight out so squeaky bum time but I'm told that it's plenty as I don't have to go through immigration. |

Well it's almost time. I fly out tomorrow leaving home at around 7AM to arrive in Tokyo, via Schipol, at 00:30 BST(08:30 JST). Adding on the 2-3 hours to get through immigration and to the hotel makes for an approx. 20 hour door-door journey Only snag is I can't check in until 14:00 so will probably just drop off my luggage and go and find some lunch/breakfast. The weather forecast is mostly dry with temperatures at 25-28 so should be comfortable unless the humidity is high. |

After a 22 hour getting out of bed in the hotel to walking in my front door journey I'm back.
It's 20:10 Friday here but my body clock thinks it's 04:10 Saturday so I'll leave posting more details until I'm a bit more awake.

This is what I bought as souvenir/gifts. I was a little concerned at bringing a Strike Witches manga through customs but all was well.  |

Checking my photos from this year I spotted one that looks very similar to one I took in 2007. I didn’t consciously go to the same spot but obviously something prompted me to take the same snap 7 years apart  2007  2014  |
