Return to Japan

Country View - Japan  2023

Narita Landing - Japan  2023

Our trip to Japan was to include a side trip to Shanghai, with some food tours researched and booked. 

This was our plan in 2020.

Alas, all reservations had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. During the last few years, we've had one out-of-state trip (to Eugene, Oregon) and a few excursions inside California, but this is the first time that we've been able to plan an international adventure.

For the first half of our visit we were joined by my sister-in-law Margaret and her husband Jim. Then we stayed at an Airbnb with Maz, Shawna and our grandkids, Hanna and Nolan.

This year, as in our trip in 2014, we flew into Narita Airport. Hali had reserved a van to take us to our hotel and after some confusion we managed to find the vehicle, climb aboard and enjoy the ride. I was particularly taken by the Spiderman décor the driver had affixed to the dashboard.
