I was supposed to be at the big indoor hotrod show in Holland. That's why I had the time booked off work. But about 2 months ago I realised I just wasn't going to make it in time, so handed back my place in the hall.
So I had 2 weeks holiday time & nothing planned. Tokyo was on my Places to See list.
So not quite spur of the moment, but more spur of the month or so.
I don't think it was any more expensive than New York -or London if you were staying there for a week.
I really enjoyed it.

And so worth it! It's always great to see the places you visit from your personal quirky point of view, makes a change from the same old landmarks.
It's the only way some of us will get to see them, for various reasons of time, money, health etc.

I see it as a public service  A few completely random shots from my trip. I arrived in the middle of Japan's 2 week cherry blossom season. This park was within walking distance of my hotel. |

A Hedgehog Cafe. For about a tenner you can have a drink & spend half an hour with the hedgehogs of your choice.
Animal Cafes are a big thing at the moment. There are cat, Chinchilla & even Otter cafes.
