Sayonara

On our last night we were keen to have a special meal as we had loved all the food we had eaten in Japan. We went to 9th floor in the Ikebukuro Station where we had eaten before and knew there were many restaurants. Penny had very high standards and wouldn't let us stop until we had reached the 13th floor where we found a buffet for 1600 yen (about $20) each. We had wanted to try a buffet but had only seen very expensive ones. This was delicious. Our neighbours at the table were so friendly and could both speak some English. There was even an icecream show! All in all a wonderful experience.

Some of the main course offerings and Dessert!

We also had a lovely view and beautiful sunset.

At Haneda Airport.

The end of a wonderful holiday. Japan is a great place to visit. Penny's small amount of Japanese was very helpful. The culture is very different and interesting. There is a huge variety of delicious and interesting food. The people are so helpful and friendly. The scenery is lovely. The weather was good but very hot - 27 degrees celsius overnight and 34 to 38 in the daytime and very humid. Next time I'd like to visit in the Spring or Autumn as the gardens would be especially lovely then. Sayonara!
