Looking out my hotel room window, I could see Mount Fuji. It was a beautiful view – clear day, and I could see for miles.

After breakfast we caught the train to Tokyo, and walked near the emperors palace. We then met up with Mikiko and had Eel and sparkling Saki for lunch. We discussed meeting plans with the stadiums for the next week. Mikiko also gave me a phone to use in Japan.

After going back to the hotel and doing some work, we went to Ichigaya, and saw a friend of Kaoru’s singing in an opera. This was a unique experience. The opera was in Italian, so after every section, somebody explained the story, so the audience knew what was going on. However the explaination was in Japanese, so no good to me! To make things worse, it was very rushed Japanese, so Kauro didn’t catch much of it either!

On our way back to the train station, we stopped at a sushi place, and had an excellent assortment of sushi. We had planned to go to the Aquarium, where we had found it was 500 yen for 2 people between 10 and 11pm, but didn’t make it back in time for that.
