We landed this morning in Narita and took the train from there. Narita is very far from Central Tokyo, more than 1h by train, and the ticket costs 20€.
We took quarters in a hotel in Shinagawa, near Omori station. This seems to be a residential neighbourhood.
We rested a bit after a 15-hour flight and got out in the evening to explore the neighbourhood.

A ... phone booth? These still seem to be a thing here, I've seen more.
Judging by the fancy cars, it looks like we are in a well-off area
Yet at the same time, I get some Bucharest vibes, too. This could be a picture taken in Avrig Street, sector 2 of the Romanian capital
A crossing where Tokyo doesn't look too different from Bucharest.
Tokyo real estate market - I'd be curious to understand the ads and the figures, but I don't
We walked along a nice promenade lined by blossoming cherry trees.
We were a bit hungry and looked for a typical place to have dinner. I wanted sushi and was happy to find a sushi restaurant where Japanese people eat dinner.
Thanks to the cheap yen, dinner came up at only €36 for the three of us! Taste-wise, it was interesting without being a revelation. I love to try out new dishes, so I'll keep experimenting.
