Just before leaving Kawaguchiko today for a relocation to Tokyo for our next segment of this trip, we were treated to an amazing red sky sunrise. This was at about 6:30AM where we were already up and getting ready for check-out. The last time I saw one of these sunrises was exactly to the day 5 years ago in Cingjing, an sight I blogged about here too. The photos here are about what one would have seen with the naked eye. The red sky morning lasted for just a few minutes, then faded away.
Our journey back from Kawaguchiko back to Tokyo was uneventful: we’d reserve seats for the 8:10AM express bus to Shinjuku Bus Terminal, and upon arrival, we made our way to our Tokyo place of stay: Toggle Hotel Suidobashi Tokyo to drop off our luggage, then headed back to Shinjuku Station to explore a couple of areas: firstly, Shin Okubo, also known as Tokyo’s Koreatown. The daughter was of course over the moon for its inclusion into our itinerary, she being the huge K-pop fan she is! Not much by way of commentary here since I’m not a follower of all things Korean, excepting the odd K-drama like Squid Game haha!
Onto Takeshita-dori Street next!
