Tokyo Drift

IMPRESSIONS OF TOKYO
People are nice, quiet, polite, helpful. 
Cars are really quiet. Petrol cars must have good mufflers.  No beeping.
We heard one angry horn blast. 
A couple of ambulances.

One would assume Tokyo drift would be a silent game. 

At the lights pedestrians stand with space.  There's no crowding together. Certainly no pushing. 
There's more people in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area than all of Australia. Yet it's calm. 

SATURDAY 14 Feb 2026
We are staying at:
Remm Tokyo Kyobashi
Breakfast at the hotel. A mix of Japanese and western. 

Train to Shinkuku railway station. This is somewhat large. Apparently 3 million passengers per day and a gazillion concorses, hallways, platforms. Although previously we'd unduerstood 200 exits, getting out proved to be a challenge. In the end we figured any stairs that went up were to be taken. Finally through random chance we saw daylight. 

Upon reflection, I suspect only one exit.

Walked through Golden Gai Area

Hanazona Shrine.
Shinjuku Gyoen Garden.

The government building was closed so no viewing.

Tonight Shinjuku food tour.



HARDWARE
