From Mt. Fuji, I spent two days in Tokyo. I stayed in a capsule hotel, which was neat. It had a 24 spa attached to it, nothing to get too excited over, but something to look forward to. When I arrived, I was told I couldn't check in until 4, I couldn't even use the bathroom let alone wait in the lobby until 4pm. I went off, and walked around for a bit, coming back at 4, and did some laundry. I decided to take a quick nap, and ended up sleeping for 8 hours.
The following day, I went for lunch at Sushiko, an awesome little restaurant with only eleven seats. Pricey, but you get the attention of a sushi chef. It was my one treat to myself, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Afterwards, I walked around and explored Tokyo. I ended the night at Shibuya Crossing, a famous intersection where all the lights go read, and people surge onto the street every minute or so from all directions.
Woke up early, and caught a train to Osaka where I discovered the flight is overbooked. I took the bump, argued until they bought me dinner, and upgraded my ticket to a business class ticket, and am now rerouted. No visit to Seattle.
At the airport lounge now waiting for the flight to depart. Unfortunately, my travel time is extended quite a bit. I am supposed to arrive around 9:45PM the night of the 11th of August, instead I am coming in around 4PM the afternoon of the 12th. Very unfortunate.
