Tokyo Autumn Holiday - Day 1

First day, 20/11/2010.

Plane touched down at Narita Airport as early as 6:40am Japan time.

The feel of autumn with fallen leaves all over



The leaves turned yellow


Some still stand strong

Temperature at that time


Reached Narita U-City Hotel by shutter bus. Room not ready, so took a bus to Jusco. Walked around, walked into Toyota and Honda Service Centres and showrooms. Daihatsu showroom under renovation. Also visited an exhibition with many food stalls and presentations.

Impressed with the well-mannered Japanese. They were very helpful. Unfortunately not many can speak English. Vehicle drivers were very patient and considerate. Never hear a sound of horn so far.
