In March of 2006 I went to Japan with my school. It was about 1/2 month and we traveled to Tokyo to Toyama to Hiroshima to Kyoto to Tokyo to Hokkaido. During our visit we stayed at hotels, hostels, and two homestays. I have several hundred photos on my flickr.
We traveled from Edmonton to Vancouver to Tokyo on the first day. The flight time was about 1.5 hours for Edmonton to Vancouver and the long Vancouver to Tokyo flight was about 12 hours. I must say that for the price and length of the flight there should be more food. By the way I took Air Canada. We left Edmonton at about 10AM and arrived in Tokyo at about 5PM the next day. It was very hard to stay awake but I made sure I did so to avoid jet leg. When we finally cleared customs a bus awaited our large group of 50. We had to drive across the city to our hotel. On the long 3 hour ride we were very tired but got to see our first sights of Tokyo and Japan. Being so tired it really didn’t sink in yet that we were in Japan. Instead of my talking about my trip why don’t I use photos to tell you about it.
