I had to check out of the hotel this morning.  I left my bags at the hotel, and Kaoru and I went to Ginza, and walked around a bit.  Because she lives so far from Tokyo, she doesn’t get in there much, so wanted to make the most of her local stay.

We went to Shimbashi to see the train blow it’s horn.  We also wandered around the dark alleys – an area that Kaoru wouldn’t do on her own, but is safe for her to do with a male.  There are lots of pubs (some seedy, some not too bad), and Japanese strip bars.  No, we didn’t go in any!

Since we were out, we decided to go to Akihabara, to buy some more phones.  We needed 2 for Nishifunabashi (so they had remotes that were in Japanese), and then a spare for each of Nishifunabashi and Kashiwa (so batteries wouldn’t go flat).  I managed to find them at not-too-bad a price – 2 were brand new and 2 were second hand.

We went to Shinagawa and picked up our bags, and then caught the train to Fugisawa.  After taking our stuff to Kaoru’s apartment, we went out for dinner in Fugisawa.
