DAY 13 [ Hong Kong > Toyko ] : Can I get a little 'Space' with my 'Station'?

We wake up way to early and walk a few blocks in the warm rain to the station that will pick us up for the ride to HK international. Travel days seem to be ending up this way. After about a 5 hour flight, we are in Tokyo. Konichiwa! We score big and get short customs lines. Oki and I take the escalator to down, buy tickets and get onboard the Narita Express for the hour ride to Shibuya in the heart of Tokyo. I'm glad I've done this before because I'd be lost otherwise because it was rush hour at our destination and difficult to maneuver with so many people bustling in the station.

Finally out on the street in front of Shibuya Station it'’s teaming with activity. Business men, teenagers, rockers, and of course school girls. Across from the station is the world busiest cross-walk in the world. A million people a day pass through here at around 5,000 per crossing. It's amazing to see such a small place wall to wall with people in 5 seconds and gone just as fast after just under a minute of cross time.

Up the hill from the station is our Tokyo home, Tokyu Stay, an apartment style hotel with a mini kitchen and washer/dryer. The room is small but adequate.

After a short rest we head off to Shinjuku and wander around but I think because it's Sunday and a bit rainy, it'’s kind of dead. Time for some sleep...…
