Seán left the hotel about 10am and I told him how to get to the train station. I didn’t hang around long myself and went to the station myself after an hour or so. I looked for somewhere to eat at the station but didn’t see anything particularly appetising so I decided to leave it until I got back to Okazaki.

Maid cafe, retro gaming, anime, games, gadgets, gundam, seiyuu, neko-mimi… this day had it all.
We woke up about 9am and decided to go to Akihabara (”Electric Town”, aka Akiba). We got the subway from Jinbocho to Suidobashi and then rode the Yamanote Line to Akiba. We still hadn’t eaten breakfast but I remembered a nice place from last summer and we ate some great Oyakodon and Katsudon.

I went to Okazaki station, queued to talk to the Shinkansen ticket salesman, decided on what ticket to buy, handed over my credit card, he put it into the machine, and I was told immediately that it was no good.

I remembered that post offices seemed to be a bit better so I kept walking until I got to the nearest post office, tried there and managed to get 50,000 yen out for the weekend and got my ticket.
