When we did our 24 hour prior check-in I clicked the "upgrade" button - and we decided that although we would never pay for Business Class tickets in the first place (at 5 times the economy price), as a last minute upgrade the price was much more palatable and we would give it a try. Now having flown in our own little pod, with seats that convert to flat beds, down comforters, restaurant style food, linens and real cutlery, bigger TV, port with the cheese tray and all around excellence - we will never revert to straight economy again on an overseas flight (unless, of course, business class is sold out, because we still couldn't bring ourselves to pay full price). We now know what it's like to be a princess, and want to be one.
Here we are enjoying our relaxing flight.
Upon arrival at Narita we picked up luggage, whizzed through immigration, and Sean met us to escort us to our hotel (so we didn't get lost). I had thoughtfully (actually, accidentally) chosen a hotel that didn't require any transfers but was a direct train from the airport.
Our hotel is very handy to a lot of tourist things, and is right in the Asakusa area. We were going to have a beer on the roof top lounge, but it was too cold. So after our photo op we went down to the restaurant. Here is Sean and Dave on the roof top lounge, with the Skytree behind them. Also behind them is the Asahi(?) beer building, with the roof top sculpture locally known as The Golden Poop.
