We sailed into Yokohama this morning to finish our cruise.
As usual we kept our suitcases with us and therefore could leave when we wanted. We were off ship by about 9 AM and found our way to the train station nearby. I had printed out the travel instructions to our hotel using Tokyo trains and metro.
We hopped on the train near the harbour and quickly realized this particular train was an express train to our connection point with the metro system ( therefore we didn’t have to make a planned changeover at a midpoint).
We got to the MASSIVE interchange station called Shibuya and following my Chat GPT printout we caught the proper metro line for our hotel OMO3 Asakusa. About 30 minutes later I realized something was wrong as Google Maps was showing us to be in another part
When I printed out the Chat GPT information back home I had inadvertently used the incorrect hotel name. We got back on the metro and this time worked our way to the hotel OMO3 Akasaka. Oh well, we had lots of time to kill until our check-in anyway. Still, I felt pretty foolish!
We left our bags at the hotel and wandered around. This area is very modern and really cool!
We stopped at a nearby ramen restaurant and had a spectacular meal ( at very affordable prices). We’ll definitely be back there again.
After check-in we went to our room and crashed for a bit. I had to use Google Translate in order to understand ( and set) the air conditioning. Also the toilet had many options so I used the translate for that.
As evening came we walked outside in the area seeing the neon lights coming on up and down the streets and tiny alleyways. We picked up some wine and a small bottle of Bacardi ( with some coke of course) and enjoyed some more relaxation time. We are still stuffed from our ramen meal so tonight is just snacks.
