Arrived in Tokyo a few days ago and found time to update the blog while my washing dries (lol)
I decided to stay in a private room for the first night to let myself adjust to a new place. The room was kinda small but that was expected for the price and it had its own shower and bath which was great as it allowed me to refresh after 17 hours of travelling. The Japanese are extremely helpful and kind, as they are always willing to help with any problems I have even though there is a massive language barrier. I'm trying yo learn a new phrase every day to help with this.
I'm now into day 3 of staying in a youth hostel and its pretty hard to sleep because its soooo warm. We left the window open one night and I ended up with the cold which I've almost recovered from. I also found out that they wear face masks here to stop them from spreading their own germs and not because of pollution or in case they catch anything. Heading out to the Studio Ghibli museum after my washing dries which is an hour on the subway so hopefully the journey won't be too draining!
