APR 2, Japan Visit: arrival in Tokyo



To enhance the confusion, we cleverly booked hotels in the more central Asakusa sector for our first few days, and in the trendier Akasaka district for the last few days of our month's visit. A portable wi-fi hotspot was a must. With its aid we usually got ourselves lost no more than once a day.

It is highly touted to visit Japan during April for sakura, blooming of the cherry trees. This transient, somewhat unpredictable visual treat progresses at various times in various locales dependent on elevation, sun-exposure, and recent and longer term temperatures.
