Oh Tokyo! We've got some Saki and Sashimi and some clean sheets (from M.A.S.H. - Rainbow Bridge episode).

We we had a fairly uneventful flight with some seats right at the very back of the plane. There were only two seats across which was lovely. I was so tired in the middle of the flight that I actually lied down on the floor between the bulkhead, our seats and the seats in front of us with two pillows & a blanket and blissfully fell asleep.

I had some tachachardia /panic attack before customs and ended up sitting for quite awhile off on the side and than waiting in a HUGE customs line where I kept sitting on the floor while hubby moved through the line and caught up with me for about an hour and a half. We finally made our way through and as our bags were checked through to Beijing we immediately got on the subway and made our way to Shibuya station and the Hachiko statue. After snapping a few photos we slowly and sleepily made our way to the Dormy Inn Shibuya. 

The staff were very nice and fast and despite the cigarette butts in the toilet in our room (a personal huge pet peeve of mine) the room was fine. It was small but very neat and tidy with a lovely bottom opening window looking directly at three train line tracks. This worried us a little but with the window closed there was no noise at all.

Hubby watched TV while I fell fast asleep only to wake up at two AM in the morning not able to get back to sleep. I quietly had a snack and read a little but I was still wide awake. I remembered the front desk telling us that the spa was open all night so decided to check it out.

I had the entire spa to myself and since you had to enter a code and this side was only for women I felt very safe. I put my PJ's and robe in the locker (slippers were left at the door) and proceeded to use the wash station as you must be totally clean before you get in the hot water. The water was the perfect temp and looked really neat with whole lemons and limes floating on the top and I laid back on the side, closed my eyes and blissfully soaked. I finally got a little too hot so slowly went in the COLD pool - oioooooohhh can you say refreshing,. After that I checked out the lovely smelling dry wood burning sauna and almost fell asleep. It was so quiet and dark and smelled so good. I finally dragged myself out, dressed and was asleep about 30 seconds after entering our room.
