Japan 2025 - Part 2

Exploring Ginza

 

Sunday - October 5th 2025

 

Sunday morning our Austrian Airlines flight arrived at Tokyo Narita Airport. Once we passed immigration and picked up our luggage, we headed to the Ninja Wi-Fi counter to get our portable wi-fi device for the next two weeks. Then we took the Narita Express to Tokyo Station, the train ride took about an hour, where we stopped at T's Tantan vegetarian restaurant for lunch. We had already been there in 2018 and liked it so much that we had to get our first Japanese meal during this trip here. Afterwards we walked to our hotel, which was conveniently located near Tokyo Station. Unfortunately our room wasn't ready yet, but we could leave out luggage at the hotel. So we headed back out and to battle the jetlag we got a coffee at Starbucks first. Then we just strolled around Ginza and checked out the many shops and the Mitsukoshi Department Store with its cute little rooftop park. Later we got two glasses of beer at the Sapporo Beer Bar before returning to the hotel to check in.

We stayed at the Daiwa Roynet Kyobashi and although our room was rather small, it was really nice and since we only stayed for one night that was totally fine. After we refreshed and rested for couple of minutes, we went out again to get dinner. We found a nice restaurant, but unfortunately they ran out of the vegetarian options and so we ended up at McDonald's and got fries. We also came across a Krispy Kreme donut shop and of course we couldn't resist and ordered two delicious donuts before returning to the hotel. By now we were really tired and were happy to go to bed.
