Sean arrives in Tokyo later this afternoon. I’ll be taking the Shinkansen down to Tokyo to meet him after work tonight, and we’ll be spending a three-day weekend in the city. The typhoon seems to have cleared a path for good weather, and the forecast is for sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s. And in contrast to the oppressively hot and muggy summer temperatures in Tokyo, the air is crisp and dry this time of year. (The smog is still present, of course.)
I’m looking forward to taking some extra time off this month. We’ll be traveling to the Kyoto/Osaka/Nara area next weekend, and then likely doing a camping/kayak trip on the Sea of Japan coast the weekend after that.
