Tokyo Travelogue

In a few short hours I’ll leave for New Tokyo International Airport and board a plane bound for the United States. I’ve spent more than three months in Japan but have lived in Japan for a total of four years, so the posts I wrote on Japan weren’t the typical first impressions of Japan that note silly Engrish and non-Western fashion. See below for the complete “Tokyo Travelogue.”
