The Tokyo sightseeing day over, today I've travelled south from Tokyo to Nagoya to visit a gum factory and distribution centre. Glamourous eh ? The highlight was travelling on the 300 Km/h bullet train down to Nagoya, through Kobe (big earthquake in 1995) and then on again to Himeji where I'm staying tonight. That thing is pretty impressive - beats the good old British Rail 125 hands down ! That train stops in Hiroshima which I'd be pretty keen to go to - just not on this visit due to time contstraints unfortunately. Tomorrow its up early to have a look at Himeji Castle which was built in 1333 and is the grandest feudal castle remaining in Japan (think 'The Last Samurai' with Tom Cruise!)- before going on to work.
