Where were we? Ah yes, Tokyo and my solo adventures without my Japanese interpreter (Greg).Off I went into the big jungle that is Tokyo, with my minimal Japanese….!I ended up in a fantastic guesthouseShinagawa Guesthouse, if you’re wondering – with my own tiny room that cosily fit my bed, my bag and me, very japanese! I ended up bonding with the guys that worked at the hostel and we all went for a wonderful lunch at the Michelin star soba restaurant, Sangoan.
Bathe in black waters– Check ! I found out I was up the road from a special ‘Black Water’ onsen (Japanese bathhouse), so of course I managed to get there and try it out. There was a black water bath which apparently has healing properties – but I felt like an egg being boiled in soy sauce (they are quite popular here). Nevertheless it was extremely relaxing. If only London had bathhouses!
