17 hours later and I finally arrived at Narita airport. The view of the Japanese countryside while descending was interesting.
After offloading the plane, going through immigration and customs, I was able to swap my JR Rail voucher into the actual pass which will allow me to ride almost all JR trains around the country. The pass won't activate until the 7th when I plan to go to Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Himeji, Hiroshima and Miyajima.
I also picked up a SUICA card for using the Tokyo metro system and it can also be used at many stores for payment.
Then I made my first purchase. A delicious green lemonade.
Currently I'm waiting for the Narita Express train to depart which will take me to Tokyo. From there I'll transfer to the Tokyo metro and head to the neighborhood I'm staying in, Azabujūban.
