We left the Fujiya Hotel early and caught the bus to Odawara Station where we had breakfast. While we were waiting at the platform for our bullet train, two other bullet trains whizzed through the station at an amazing pace.
As it was a lovely day we decided to head back to Ueno Park to see the Van Gogh and Gaugin exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. These valuable artworks were within touching distance of visitors. Security was minimal by western standards but the Japanese walked slowly and orderly past all of the works with the whole gallery in near silence.
We are very happy with our final hotel - The Gate Hotel in Asakusa. The lobby is on floor 13 where there is a fabulous view towards the Tokyo Sky Tower. We are on the 10th floor with a view in the opposite direction. We ate at the hotel restaurant and the food was lovely.
