Didn't post yesterday because my parents came back from their own trip to Japan! So I was mainly sharing my experiences with them. (For a number of reasons, we ended up going on separate trips.)
Anyway, time for day 4! Since this is the day where we head off to Tokyo, most of the day is spent on changing hotels and travelling.
We took the shinkansen, because I wanted to try it out! Couldn't get our hands on reserved seats though, since we bought the tickets on the day itself and all the seats have already been booked. So we ended up sitting separately for a while.
