The following day was the start of our three-day trip to Tohoku. Since we already had our train tickets, it was an easy ride all the way to Sendai Station. However, it was only after we got there that the trouble started. Due to high winds, the majority of the local trains running from Sendai Station were either delayed or cancelled for the day.

We had an early start the next morning as we had plans to meet up with a friend to visit the Mori Building Digital Art Museum in Odaiba. My friend had bought tickets ahead of time, but since it was a weekend we decided to get there before opening to avoid the crowds.

However we almost didn’t make it as we ended up waiting almost 45 minutes for our taxi to get to the hotel! It was so congested with everyone heading into Kawazu that the traffic was back up for several kilometres….
