Japan - Day 1
A day spent mostly travelling.
The day started with breakfast on the plane — 05:30 Tokyo time, or 20:30 London time. Neither is an acceptable time for breakfast.
Not far to go now — two hours to landing.
I can’t work out where my AirPods are, though they seem close… and charged.
We had hot soba noodles for breakfast — a bargain price of £8 — before settling in for an hour’s wait for our next flight up to Sapporo, which promises to be snowy. This will be a surprising change from the sunny, mild weather in Tokyo.
From the air, it didn’t disappoint. Japan never does.
We took the rapid transit train into Sapporo, each of us falling asleep a couple of times, then walked the remaining 500 metres to the hotel. My sleep score for the overnight flight was a miserable 24 points.
Dinner was something from a convenience store — there are loads of them — followed by a traditional ramen. It was good.

This was followed by a quick beer in the bar before going to bed around 08:00.
First impressions: Sapporo is very cold.
