Japan 11 Apr - 19 Apr - Day 1 (Part 1)

Our awaiting holiday is final here!


We were at the airport early to enjoy the facility of their lounge, cos our dear friend has free access passes! In the lounge, there are free wifi, food, wine, place to rest and shower room, meant for those doing flight transition. I went with an empty stomach to have a good supper.... Mostly are light food, but i had so many helpings till i nearly drop dead eating, all thanks to my greediness...

Our travel mate...

My OOTD for the trip, it is really humid and hot here in Singapore, so i only start changing before take off, the temperature when we touch down Japan would be about 15 degree only...! Woohoo...!

Ready for take off..! See u in 6 hours time....

In flight meal.


Had heard a lot about JAL in-flight meals, usually they are catered from actual restaurants that are based in Japan. We had this very thick tomato soup (that i didn't take down the name) from Soup Stock, which later then i know it's a chain store in Japan. And they had spread their wings to Singapore too....

Touch down Haneda Airport


First thing to do not sim card nor find map but is..... smoking room!

Always amused by Japan high tech toilet

 Gear up before we head out.... cos it's only 12°C...! Shiokness...!!!!

Black coffee for my man, his everyday dosage.

Time for the trains. Change numerous train, coupled with many up and down the stairs before we reach our lodge. 




This is my MAN..! Helping me out with the bulky and heavy luggage while i just carry "Myself". Felt so much luv... Hugz..!

Finally reached and this pic is actually heading out again... lol  

We are heading out to have our first meal in Japan...! 
Ichiran Ramen, one of the best ramen we ever had. This has become our regular spot for supper throughout our stay, forget to mention that this store opens 24/7, and it's within walking distance from our hotel (like 15min walk).

The ordering method is also fresh to us to, perhaps we are too mountain tortoise. Haha... Cos this type of vending machine can be found everywhere at most of the eatery throughout Japan.  







Some light shopping and getting to know the area near our hotel.


After the walk about, it's 4pm already, went back to have a short nap and prepare for night activities.
