Shinjuku to Tokyo this morning to get the Shikansen.

Left the hotel 8am. 4 adults with suitcases in rush hour.

Hectic but fun.

Shinkansen is - and I cannot overstate this - fucking awesome

Where you off to @NTA?

[NTA]

@gt12 Osaka 4 nights. Kyoto 3.
Back to Tokyo on the 2nd, flying out 3rd.

I could do another 2 weeks just in Tokyo!

Planning to take a day trip to Hiroshima?
In Kyoto, try to get to the 'Insta' spots before the tour buses, so if the weather is good and it's not too cold, hit Arashiyama / Fushimi Inari-taisha early in the morning when there should be fewer people.
I can ask friends for restaurant recommendations, a friend of mine really likes this Gin, so their bar could be worth a try:

@gt12 Cheers mate.

Gale warning in Osaka this arvo. Storm has rolled in and I'm on the 23rd floor of our hotel watching the rain and a little lightning

[NTA]

And no, not doing Hiroshima but I reckon Mrs TA and I will be back in the not-too-distant future to see more, and that is on the list.

Nice. I know the city very well and can recommend some lesser known places to eat.

If you are back in Tokyo, I can recommend some places as well. I don't know Kyoto or Osaka that well, sadly.

I’m always available for restaurant recommendations in Palmie guys, just saying
