Okay, so we took this direct flight from LAX to NAA (Tokyo). Turns out that Tokyo is pretty much the only spot you can fly into in Japan and then you have to get to your final destination any way that you see fit. We saw fit the trains. So we made reservations for the next day and then went to the Prince Hotel in Shinagawa (close to Tokyo).
Upon seeing this Shinagawa, I have to say that I was unimpressed with my culture shock. It didn't help that most all signs were still in english too. I mean, I can feel more lost driving around Koreatown in LA at times than compared to here. We stumbled upon our nice hotel, and though the lobby and building looked very nice and spacious, these japanese rooms are freaking small. Jon and I shared one and it was about a quarter of standard american hotel rooms.
We got to eat at this great authentic noodle place though. It was probably like twice the size of our room and they fit about 20 people eating at a time. One nice thing about Japan, is that their restaurants always have food/pictures on display so that you can see what you are getting. The noodles were good, but I was still hungry so we had some ice cream, and I kept myself from buying something from the vending machines. They are so many and they all are display nice and brightly.
