Tokyo, Japan

Check into Hotel – We started our trip out by staying at the beautiful Hilton Odaiba which is considered South Tokyo and is close to Haneda Airport. We arrived late in the evening and decided to explore the hotel and get a good night’s sleep for the day ahead. There are plenty of neat things to see and do around this hotel which is why we chose it. Check out the view from our hotel room balcony!
Osaka, Japan

After breakfast with Godzilla, we made our way to the Tokyo Station to hop on our very first Shinkansen! It was easy getting our tickets for the Shinkansen which were included with our JR Pass. We just had to stop by the JR Office in Tokyo Station to get our tickets and then we were on our way. Since we were celebrating our birthdays, we decided to splurge and buy access to the Green Cars which include nicer seats, more room to spread around, and a hot towel refresher service.
