Leaving Japan
Narita town is 15-minute train ride from the airport of Narita – who would have thought? But seriously, it’s a cute town with an awesome temple and a street to the temple with lots of local products. Highly recommended if you want to stay the last night before your flight close to the airport. I was able to catch a real impressing firing ceremony and got lost in the temple grounds for a couple of hours. For lunch, I finally tried a Japanese McDonalds. Happy to try their edamame with corn and one the chicken sandwich had the best presentation I have ever seen. I went to the local Soba shop for dinner to get some cold Soba with Duck. Simply delicious.
This marks the end of my Japan trip. It felt like a vacation from traveling. Everything was so comfortable, new, and interesting to me. I am left with a sizable hole in my travel budget and a backpack full of souvenirs. Next up will be Thailand while I try to sort out my future. I’ll be honest: I’m drawn home to Germany and will slowly start to make my return but it might a few months until I have an apartment and the job situation has been addressed. For now: flying from Narita has been a delight. I felt safe in Japan not only because of this SecBot. Bye Japan. I am sure I will come back as there is lots that I want to see still.
