Day 15 - Return to Tokyo

Absolutely hammering down, weather in Hakone has been atrocious and we have not been able to do the place justice. Catch the bus to Odawara and last Shinkasen ride to Tokyo. Still super impressed with Japanese railways so it was with some regret that we left the Shinkasen at Tokyo station. Tomorrow is our extra day sight seeing, suspect we may take it easy an concentrate on shopping. Tired now and I am looking forward to returning to the UK friday.

Shinjuku, the skyscraper district.... not kidding either. Shopping district too. Simon an I found a electronics shop spreadover 8 floors of 3 buildings with everything from phones and PCs to lightbulbs. Spent an hour wandering around. Its very in you face and brash and noisy. Prices are quite high so I dont think I'll be buying. Went up the Tokyo Government building last night 47 floors great view from the top.
