Japan Trip Report 25 Jul-8 Aug, 2023
Had a very smooth trip from the USA to Tokyo—thanks to the prayers of our friends and the provision of G^d. The plane to Chicago landed right on time, which only gave us about 20 minutes to travel to and wait at the gate. Nice.
The 12.5-hour flight to Tokyo on ANA-All Nippon Airlines—was probably the nicest ever (remember this!). The food was good and the service excellent. I did NOT want to sleep due to the time zone change, and the discomfort of trying to sleep in an airline seat. The trip went by quickly, which surprised even me. It took a while to work our way through Tokyo customs at Haneda Airport, but it was only a short and convenient walk with our 3 bags each to get to Villa Fontaine Airport Hotel. Our rooms were small (Anna Grace traveled with us and id’ed the hotel so we could make reservations.) but functional. We got into the hotel at about 10 PM. You are automatically booked into your room and given a key by a machine similar to the modern airport kiosks. There was no breakfast or room snacks, but they did have pour-over coffee available when we checked in. It was very easy to use and tasty.
