More to Explore in Tokyo Japan

With cheap airline fares traveling is more easy now than ever. As a subscriber of the SAS newsletter I found a discount ticket and I am traveling to Japan again. The flight I have chosen is the shortest connection from Norway to Tokyo. My first stop will be Tokyo for a few days where I will celebrate the Norwegian national day May 17th. After that my journey takes me to the historic village of Gokayama where I am staying one night. Having a short stop in Toyama, then Kanazawa is the next stop for one night. Shinkansen, the bullet train, are taking me back to Tokyo for more experiences before heading back home to Norway.

I am happy to see that the service concept is upgraded on business class. They still have more to work on before really delivering a high standard.
