Hey gang. So first half a day in Japan didn’t go amazingly well but there were some good moments. I had an overnight flight to China and then a connecting flight to Japan, and I had really sore knees and couldn’t get comfortable. Transiting through China felt like a fever dream. Got here, went on train. The real scramble shouldn’t be Shibuya Scramble but Shinjuku Station, because it’s jam-packed. I then met up with friend who carried my luggage for me, and her friend who tagged along bought us yakiniku which was nice. Hostel is cool, but the shower rooms were a bit gross and there was nowhere to put my clothes and toiletries. I didn’t really get to do what I had planned to do today, but that’s the fun of it I guess. Hopefully I’ll get some good rest tonight and that the konbinis live up to the hype.
the first day is getting your bearings and making sure you have your stuff and are where you’re supposed to be, also looking around while you do your stuff and seeing if anything catches your eye that you can visit later

Glad you are there ok. First day never goes to plan for me. If you are there and get a rest that’s a win!
Agreed , the day you land doesn’t count it’s just part of travel
