Today we spent our morning on trains as we left Hiroshima for Tokyo. We stopped along the way to the towering Castle of Himeji. We spent a few hours there wandering around and exploring the town. Then we found our way back to the train station and took a bullet train back to Tokyo. It took about 4 hours to get back, but once back it felt good to be in a city I recognized.
We stayed in the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, which was amazing! We stayed on the 22nd floor and had western style rooms and beds!! After we got situated, we went do a local restaurant for our Farewell Party. The restaurant was in the theme of a pirate ship, which was pretty neat. They had a pretty nice buffet to choose from and one of those pirate ship amusement ride things in the room!
It was sad to part ways with my host family. They will be missed. It was nice thought to get to say thank you one last time. After dinner I went bowling with a few people and my professor in a two story bowling alley next door to the hotel. I didn't do that well but had a good time!
After that we went back to our rooms and took it easy for the rest of the night.
