Time to go to Tokyo

I arrived in Tokyo after a 14 hour flight from New York's JFK airport. Then, the bus ride to the city and my hotel took 2 hours because of the afternoon traffic.

When I finally walked into the hotel, there was a beautiful garden arrangement in the lobby. I snapped the picture above and went to get some food.

Not wanting to sit in a restaurant, I decided to go to a supermarket in the Shinagawa train station. I picked up a "bento" (a Japanese lunch box) that looked good. On the way out, I noticed a Japanese candy display. I love the way things are packaged here - such attention to detail.
