I made it back

Okayama to Tokyo on the bullet train

Now I have returned to a hotel in Tokyo I have stayed at before. That means that after today there are no more bullet trains, no more hotel photos and therefore no more reason for anyone to look at this website. Really I can see the analytics of which photos people click on. The toilet photos get more clicks than all other photos combined.

Getting here was no issue. I had pre purchased my ticket before leaving Australia, QR code which works fine, train was busy but I had a spare seat next to me most of the way, a lot of snotty people so I put headphones on with noise cancelling to pretend they were not all dying of something.

So I will be here for 5 nights and a very long last day, staying in a very busy familiar area, so there are still a lot more photos to come that do not feature hotel toilets.

Here is the view from the Via inn hotel lobby in Okayama. Today I realised the chain is actually owned by JR West, hence why it is on top of the station.

I disagree with points 3, 4, 7, 9 and especially 10. Resting asshole face is how I am best described.

Here is a bullet train. Not my bullet train as Okayama is a station where it stops only for a few seconds. However they are all the same so you get the idea from this or 200 identical photos I have taken in the past.

Now for the hotel. It is another Sotetsu Fresa in Okachimachi (near Ueno). I have stayed here before. I have 2 windows with a view, and now that I think about it I remember selecting a corner single room, which was bigger than the normal single room. However it has 2 sets of slippers and 2 pillows, so I think maybe I got an upgrade. The entrance area is very wide compared to most rooms and the bed is bigger than I expected.
