After a long and exhausting 14 hours on planes, we finally arrived in Narita! Hayley didn't believe we would make it, but we did!
After a measly few hours sleep (and close to none for a few excited kids) we left the airport and headed to Odaiba, a man-made island in Tokyo area.On arrival at 10am, we realized that most of the shops in Odaiba didn't open until 11! Shops in Japan have a much later general open time than in Australia (I didn't know having never been up early enough to see!).
Our kids had a look at some fun Japanese shops, played a lucky dip game (unfortunately no major winners) and some even tried a haunted house!
And we now have 4 matching girls all with gorgeous Stitch plush toys to lug around...
After eating a buffet lunch, we saw a few famous sights of Odaiba including Tokyo's Statue of Liberty (a present from France), the Rainbow Bridge and a life size giant robot statue.
With our kids exhausted, we headed to our hostel in Shinjuku. Students were amused to use the interesting toilets, complete with music buttons.
We\ve all been taking heaps of photos, which unfortunately due to internet problems I can't upload at the moment, so I will try again tomorrow!
Big day ahead tomorrow with students getting a real taste of Tokyo Culture!
