Leaving London on the 12th Febuary 2012, I was ready to embark on a 36 hour flight. From London to Napier, Catching 4 flights landing in Japan, Christchurch, Auckland and finally Napier, New Zealand.
My first leg of the flight London to Tokyo. After spending 12 hours on the plane I finally landed in Tokyo, I had 6 hours to kill. Decision time, I could either catch a train to Tokyo, One hour one way then wonder around the buzzing city for 3 hours, probably getting lots on route, then catching the train back, no doubt missing my train back and possibly missing my flight?! So this was a no. The other option was, whilst on my flight to Japan I luckily was sitting next a nice Japanese girl called "Minami", spending the last 9 months in London, learning english and studying business management. Now she was on her way home to see the family. Minami, kindly offered to show me around her home town near the airport, with her mother and sister. So with these two options, I took the safer one.
With the 6 hours to kill, we went for a 20 min drive to a Temple that was near by. Looking at the sites it was really interesting see how everyone was dressed, structure of the buildings and to experience a bit of their culture. Here are some pictures.
After looking around the Temple for 2 hours our stomachs where rumbling and complaining, it was time to find some local food....
