Off on an Adventure in Japan with Ellie






Ellies Japan trip 2019
Day 1  29-9
I flew to Melbourne on my own, the plane got delayed 45 minutes, but it was a good flight. When I arrived Yaya and Papa picked me up and we went to Tim and Mary’s house though Julian was the only one home. We went out for dinner at a Thai restaurant that was really nice.

Day 2  30-9

We got up at 3:45am and got a taxi to the airport. We had breakfast at the Qantas lounge and were first on the plane. We took a flight to Cairns and then after a 30-minute stop flew to Japan (all up it was 12 and a half hours). We landed in Narita and took a shuttle bus to the Hotel Tobu where we stayed. There was a restaurant at the hotel where we had dinner, but it was not the nicest but still ok.

Day 3  1-10
We got up at around 7:00 am.
This day was full of train ride. We packed up at the hotel and got the shuttle back to the Narita airport at 7.30am where we got our Japan Rail Pass.
and booked our ticket through to Hiroshima. We had time for breakfast at Starbucks and I had a caramel frappochino.

Then we caught the Narita express  to Shinagawa then went and got bento boxes and took another train, a shinkensen (bullet train) to Shin’osaka and the another train to Hiroshima then got a local train to Maezora where we were staying for 3 nights at Horainosato another hotel. We got there unpacked then went for a walk down to the store where we got dinner. We found whatever looked good enough to eat by the pictures that were on the boxes because it was all in Japanese.
