=== April 29th: Back to Tokyo ===
+==== Hostel ====
+
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.

+==== Akihabara ====
+
+Because there was a strict curfew at 11PM, we had to take the metro during the rush
+hour ([[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Tokyo_Again/metro|photos and videos]]) to reach
+the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akihabara|Electric Town]] ([[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Tokyo_Again/Akihabara|photos]]).
=== April 28th ===
==== Afternoon: travel to Nikko ====
Nikko is in an adjacent valley east of Nagano on the Japanese alps. Unfortunately, no train lines
-and busses connect them directly, so we had to take an expensive -- yet very fast -- Shinkansen
-detour all the way down to Saitama and then up again.

Once at the station, we immediately realized it was a good deal, after all.
This mountain town overflows with temples, world heritage sites and statues of Buddah
