Japan stop over
On our way to America we had an 11 hour stop over in Japan. The boys and I thought we'd get a visa for the day and go for a look around Japan. The speed train took us directly to the city from Narito airport which was roughly an hour away.

Back in the car we drove the short distance to the Murodo junction only to be told that the road was closed to all but local traffic and that we would have to drive back to Tateyama Station and catch a cable railway (a bit like a funicular) and a bus.
