Tokyo Arrival

Looking down toward Shibuya Crossing.

After a smooth flight from JFK to Tokyo over the weekend it turned out the most exciting part of the journey had yet to come. The two hour, night-time bus ride from the airport to our hotel (Cerulean Tower Hotel) in the Shibuya district was something out of a sci-fi movie. The bus eventually made its' way onto an elevated highway that took us zooming across the city for an hour. It really felt like we were flying, or floating through this humongous metropolis with skyscrapers, small alleyways, neon lights, cars, people and more giving us a first glimpse of Tokyo.
