Moving - Tokyo - Blogabond

Moved to Tokyo today, of course it had to be the only rain day of the week so far. Well, I am just glad that it was dry for my last few days in Kyoto, so it's fine.
Due to me doing the checking-out-process yesterday already, I arrived waaaay before the specified time at the Tama Plaza station, meaning the landlord was not yet in. Took a cab to the Guest House, cost me 710yen.
Tama Plaza itself is a nice little town in Yokohama which is incredibly close to Shibuya and thus Tokyo (20min train ride). Its a quiet neighborhood with a little nightlife around the station area and the usual shops. I will do further posts as if I was staying in Tokyo for reasons of simplicity.

Chanel House - Front (nightview)

Took some time to sort things out and get to the room but I finally had the time to unpack. This moving was probably the hardest of my journey in terms of getting everything in the trunk, as I carried various things I will not take back home, but still need here with me. A really tight fit. Will sort things out before leaving the Chanel House for one last week in Kyoto with my girlfriend at the end of August.
For now, I settled in and took a stroll around the area to the station (about a 10min walk I guess, didn't take the exact time).

There is an Tokyu department store around, have yet to find a decent nearby conbini, however.

I really grew to love the Yurakuso in Kyoto, the room was small but cozy and ideal for my purposes. The Chanel House is something completely different, the room being bigger (well, two people will stay there eventually), the floor w/o tatami-mats, the building big and lots of non-Japanese residents. Talked with my room-neighbor Gary for a while and got some info.
Will probably get used to here as well, but i would have loved to stay in Kyoto for a while longer.

So long and stay tuned,
