=== April 29th: Back to Tokyo ===
-TODO
+After one last tour of the [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko/town]], we left from Nikko in
+with a low-cost private line (2h40, but only 1100 Yen all the way to Asakusa).
+
+We had just one evening and half of the next day to spend in Tokyo, so we quickly went to
+the [[http://www.tokyo-ih.jp/en/index.html|Tokyo International Youth Hostel]], a sort of
+nazi camp with a great view on the 18th floor of a high-rise building in Iidabashi.

Pictures of our day-long [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko/waterfalls_tour]] are now online.
Our friendly guide, the Buddhist monk whose name I forgot, answered many of our pending questions
about Japanese traditions and religion. Hiking through these sacred mountains and woods was an
enjoyable experience.

And I could finally spot a few [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miko]]s too!
