DAY 2 : Haneda Airport > Asakusa
 |
| 6AM : Seconds before they off the lights of Tokyo Tower! Lucky |
Departed from the airport around 5AM and the sky was already bright.
When we first step foot onto the first train, we were impressed how smooth and on time it was compared to the ones in Malaysia.
Since the check in times for airbnbs in Japan are 4pm, we placed our luggage at lockers which are easily found around most stations. Priced around 500 Yen for Medium, 700 Yen for Large ones. A large one could fit two small luggage.
Our Airbnb was located in Asakusa, thus we planned to spend the whole day around this area.
1. SENSOJI TEMPLE

After that, we finally got to check into our room and since it was self check-in, we had to do a little challenge before we got the key which was pretty cool ;)
