Packed the car, set GPS, rugged up and headed into Tokyo. Traffic not nearly as bad as expected (or remembered from previous trip). It took 2 hours to do 60kms as there is a lot of road reconstruction. Drivers are most polite and you never hear horns sounding. The trip cost about $40 in tolls.

Arrived at our hotel in Shinjuku at 11am, too early to check-in so parked and walked downtown.

Had a look in the food hall of the Isetan department store. Amazing variety of foods, many with a cherry blossom theme and lots of samples being handed out.
