sunday 30h march - Tokyo

Hell of a day today, spent an age finding a capsule hotel but finally did. had left our big bags at the ryokan and so once we hd booked in, headed off to shinjuku and enjoyed taiten (i think) which is a sushi on a conveyor belt. they all greet you when you come in and then you just take plates and they tally it up with your plates at the end! different plates had different values. Beautful salmon, so fresh and they add the wasabi themselves so i think you get the right amount for the particular fish. was lovely.
Capsule hotel was pretty different! i was on the womens floor and so after utting my things in a locker i had a shower (dens were fully communual so he stayed unwashed..) and went to my capsule. I had a bottom row one and it comes with a tele and alarm clock and light. Theres not door to close, you just pull down the shade. luckily in a room full of women it was pretty quiet. apparenetly the mens room was full of snorers. strange night.
