Well timed rain
Nagoya to Tokyo on the Shinkansen
All day rain again and I do not care because I was on a train. Day, rain, train, again.
I am now back in Tokyo, my last stop, I will be here for 5 nights, in a Dormy Inn again, which has been the most popular brand on this trip.
Getting here was easy, although Nagoya station in particular was heaving with people, and the train full of PIGS AT THE TROUGH was completely full. I once again appeal to the Emperor, ban eating on trains.
My hotel in Tokyo is on the other side of town to where I was at the start of this trip, Ikebukuro to be precise. I have stayed in this area of town once before, when I arrived in Japan terribly sick many years ago (I will never forget that), but I have not previously stayed in this specific hotel.
If you are in the 99 percent of people finding this website for toilet photos, then these are your last toilet photos of this trip, so you do not need to look again, thanks.
Raining in Nagoya. This is the far side of the station, also under complete redevelopment.
Every station in Japan is a hole in the ground.
The least busiest part of Nagoya station where I could actually stop and take a sneaky photo.
The platforms were very busy with trains every couple of minutes, I always walk right to the end to get out of the way.
Now for my dormy inn photos, as mentioned, they insist on lower case, so sometimes I do lower case, sometimes I do not. here is the entry way, and now I can confirm that dORMY iNN's all have the extra sliding entrance way door.
IT IS A TOILET.
And finally here is my bed and working area. perfectly adequate. Cheap hotel, $100 a night. Rain should stop by 8pm allegedly.
