Aizuya Inn

Ok Tokyo has grown on me and I'll be sad to be heading back to the UK. I've really enjoyed the late night banter at the Aizuya Inn, but there are tasks at hand; shopping, sight seeing and sumo. I enlisted the help of a couple of Tokyo free guides, Kayo ...

... we did finally find our way. (I know that was a lot of people we needed help from) After settling in to our tiny room in Aizuya Inn with 2 futons on the floor (pic below), we headed out to get a little something to eat before bed, and it turned out ...
