Henry Good stuff. I honestly think it’s better to book the Shinkansen in advance. The ticket offices are stretched at the best of times and now that the Japanese government have eased the rules on entry for Chinese tourists it is going to get even busier. Local trains could be packed as well but I wouldn’t worry about booking for those.
Amps rhouses are you going to spend the whole time traipsing around tiny record shops looking for rare remixes whilst drinking obscure booze in ‘listening bars’? If not, why not?

rhouses bosstrabs wouldn’t mind a dim sum sesh with you dave, but I suspect it’ll be at the China Town near Leicester Square. Let’s see, never really thought about China…
RichM rhouses this needs some kind of Netflix documentary of you two meeting up and going for some food in Beijing.
bosstrabs And Rhouses getting a load of dece new clobber from Girdear, Toread, Hotwind and Boss Sunwen.
bosstrabs Rhouses likes BEAMS because they incorporate rolled steel joints into their clothing for structural integrity. United Arrows make darts shirts for the girthier gentleman.
rhouses @vinnyt77 @Henry Any decent tokyo hotel recommendations? Staying at the Otani when we fly in, but want to pick something different for the last two nights with my Dad.
RichM rhouses I stayed in the Conrad Tokyo when I was there and that was lovely. Was about 15 years ago though!
