Asia Tour Day 0.5 - Tokyo Tranquility

Yesterday we got into Tokyo in the early afternoon. After surviving a two-hour bus ride from Narita, we got into the Grand Hyatt Tokyo at Roppongi Hills--which I must say, was absolutely gorgeous. (Sarah says that I did well in my hotel choices...haha.) We were pretty pooped and decided to all out in our first night in Tokyo: sushi dinner and 90-minute massages in our hotel. We went to Sushi Seizan, one of the 5 million restaurants in the Roppongi Hills complex connected to our hotel. The sushi spread that we had was INCREDIBLE!! (Well, that and we were really hungry. Then it was off to the Nagomi Spa (my new favourite spa in the world) in our hotel for Japanese baths, steam room / chilling, and our 90-minute "Tranquility massages". After that, we were set for bed at a comfortable 10:30pm bedtime -- jet lag be damned! I didn't even get to use the rain shower in our bathroom!!

Random Tokyo observations: there's a lot of bowing. Bring your own kleenex. They love their Cold Stone Creamery. And their Starbucks.
