On the way to Japan

The preparation for our trip has come to an end and I'm on the way to Japan. The trip is taking up 2 days in total, despite a direct flight from Toronto to Narita Airport in Tokyo. The 13 hour time difference  Upon arrival, the Japanese welcome their visitors with a painting of Mt. Fuji at the airport. 

By the time I'm checked in at the hotel it is 5:30 pm. The hotel is in the Shiodome area of Tokyo (Shiodome = reclaimed land). The only tea that I was able to find was prepared and ready to go. Its dark very early and I guess the tea shops still have to wait until later...  

hot tea to go..
