We woke up at our regular time and had breakfast. We took our time because our flight wasn't until 5pm, so we had ample time to relax and slowly make our way to the airport. We had our final lunch in Tokyo and it was a sad feeling.
We packed in so many activities and we saw so much and although we were only there for eight days, it felt longer. We're happy we added Japan to the list of places we have visited. We also won't forget the company that we had while we were there. Travelling with friends, especially to somewhere like Tokyo, was enjoyable because although we were on the other side of the world, we didn't feel too far from home.
One of the best memories I'll keep during this trip will not be the food itself, but the experience of how we ate the food. To eat, we sat in a chair, a booth, a stool, a cubicle, and believe it or not, two of the best meals I had was sitting on the floor and standing up at a sushi bar. We ordered what we wanted from a vending machine, chose what we wanted from a tablet, pushed a button on our table whenever we needed the waitor, and never had to worry about being dehydrated as there were always vending machines everywhere, from the hotel, to the streets, to the mountain side. I don't remember a time that I felt hungry either, because there were always shops everywhere we went that sold everything from fresh food to packaged food, dry food to frozen food, and even canned food.
Everyone in Tokyo and Kyoto were extremely nice and the environment was safe. We would definitely go back to Japan, but would visit other areas like Osaka or Hiroshima. Until then, we'll have our pictures to look back on and the memories to recall.
