Just a quickie: yesterday, I woke up late and had some business to take care of, so no far away trips for me. Hokkaido is great, it's just that everything takes lots of time, and time is something you don't really have when you're spending only three days there.
Today, we hopped on the train for Tokyo; 10 hours of travelling from Sapporo. The apartments in Tokyo are good and spacious; great stuff to spend the night in.
Had dinner at Tonkatsu Maisen, which is basically within spitting distance from Akasaka. Something bad happened as well today; more on that later. (nothing life-threatening, just very annoying)
Tomorrow morning, I'll head for Tsukiji to meet a friend and his wife to visit the Wholesale Market and have a sushi breakfast afterwards. There is also a festival in Ito; I will probably go there in the evening.
Cheers, K.
