<br />
<br />
Well, In am nearly half way to Japan now as I post this. Journey good so far. Flight about 50 mins late departing due to some safety bods deciding to an extra unscheduled check on the aircraft pre boarding on a very nearly full flight, Crew good and food & refreshments quite good considering the circumstances, Have been refreshing my memory on past world cups by watching very good rugby programmes provided by in flight entertainment.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rest of Journey not as bad as I feared---survived without much cramp at all. Again the flight crew were excellent, and kept all the passengers supplied with endless food and drinks, which was of quite good quality considering all the circumstances. Arrived at Narita Airport and collected my Keisei Skyliner and subway pass tickets. Then got some cash out of ATM and purchased a Suica card [ for other tokyo travel & vending machines]. Made my way to what I thought was nearest station to my hotel and got a bit lost for a while. Could not open my simcard holder so could not get my smartphone going with Japanese simcard! Soon found my way to hotel, then got a few different bites to eat with a few drinks in local suburb. Eating out in Japan is amazing.All eating out experiences seem to be to be 'Disneyfied'. With chefs and proprietors standing in doorways promoting their own experience. (And this is in the suburbs!] Dummies of people eating in window (like scarecrows) and fake food on the pavements. A real challenge on the sight processes to take it all in! I saw most of Japan v Russia game,then hit the sack. Awoke bright as a button only 6 hours later. </div>

You will not be able to use Japanese sim in a mobile device that is locked into using a particular provider.

It is a link to an excellent blog written by a british travel/food/culture writer with a good sense of humour. It gives a myriad of options and a links to details. Very helpful and informative.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #b6b6b6; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #b6b6b6; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
To start with, I have a reciprocal arrangement with one of the most popular Irish Pubs in Tokyo. It is called 'An Solas' and it is the only IRISH OWNED Pub in Tokyo. It is located in the suburb of Shinjuku which is just west of the city centre. There will probably be some good sessions there around the time of the RWC. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AnSolasIrishPub/" style="color: #077893; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/AnSolasIrishPub/</a></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #b6b6b6; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #b6b6b6; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The next Irish Pub that grabbed my attention is<u> 'The Irish Times',</u> in Shinbashi (lol, hope that is not pigeon English), which is just southwest of the Tokyo Sports Square FANZONE, which in turn is just south of Tokyo central rail station complex. It is a lively sports bar, with pub grub, and sometimes music.</div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #b6b6b6; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Then there is the chain of 5 Dubliners pubs located at Shinjuku, Ikebukoro, Askasaka, Sibuya and Shinagawa; which are all one local rail line and are southwest, west and northwest of the city centre.</div>

I will update this list all the time.</h3>
<div>
To start with, I have a reciprocal arrangement with one of the most popular Irish Pubs in Tokyo. It is called 'An Solas' and it is the only IRISH OWNED Pub in Tokyo. There will probably be some good sessions there around the time of the RWC. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AnSolasIrishPub/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/AnSolasIrishPub/</a><br />

Therefore I can expect to get more traction with visitors to it very soon. If you have just landed on this blog from one of those other blog's links, don't be disappointed, I will be developing those unfilled pages quite steadily now over the next month or two, now that I have nearly finished making all my own reservations.Fergushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06235549849222451279noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223330449506841590.post-85004035634575188432018-09-20T03:30:00.001-07:002019-08-07T19:43:20.342-07:00One Year To Go!Today we are exactly one year away from the opening game of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. So I have re-doubled my efforts to sort my accommodations sorted before availability starts to become a big problem. Thankfully I have now the first two thirds of my three week trip sorted!<br />
In planning my trip I had a few online travel guide blogs open, google map of Japan, and the following very helpful links. <a href="https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/cities" target="_blank">Rugby World Cup 2019--Host Cities Guide</a><br />
