Pre-Trip: endless research about what to do, where to go and especially watching YouTube videos on how to behave respectfully according to Japanese culture.

Day 1 (Thursday): Upon arrival we checked into Andon Ryokan Hotel where each guest room features tatami (woven-straw) flooring with traditional futon bedding. The Ryokan offers cultural activities such as tea ceremony and flower arrangement classes and also offers a selection of delicious Western breakfasts, which are cooked to preference and served in the common kitchen. After dropping off the luggage, we took a tour of Tokyo where we learned how to travel by Metro and visited places such as Asakusa and saw the Sensō-ji Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple. We also stopped by some amazing shops in Akihabara in Chiyoda, Tokyo where we saw an ultimate collection of old Nintendo games and gaming systems as well as made a pit-stop for lunch at a small local delicious Ramen Shop! After returning back from the tour, we enjoyed a nice traditional “Omakase” dinner made by the Ryokan owner herself, Toshiko Ishii before calling it a night!
