Tokyo, Japan, Tuesday Night

Have you made it back to the hotel yet? Probably not, right, because there's just so much to see, eat, and do in Tokyo.

And because for some of you, sleeping seven to a tiny room has limited-to-no appeal. Cough. Wonder who that might apply to! Anyway, enjoy the Tokyo nightlife!

The modern TRUNK hotel offers green spaces and wide balconies in the heart of Tokyo. Located just a stone's throw from the famous Shibuya, Aoyama and Harajuku neighborhoods, you'll find plenty to do around here.

The standard wide rooms with balcony with twin- or double beds you'll be sleeping in are a lot more modern, and each has a nice balcony with a hammock chair to chill out in. Enjoy, relax. Though for some reason, one of the balcony rooms is smaller than all the others. Hmm...

You know, Tokyo was a pretty great city and Rosa had had a pretty full day ~~really!~~ and she knew another one was waiting tomorrow, so she eventually got ready to get to bed, reaching for her earplugs because, yeah, even the sleep apnea machine could only do so much with Amaya's snoring, and pulled back her covers.

And stared.

Closed her eyes, drawing in a deep breath.

"Amaya?" she asked, trying to blink back her rage because it would probably not do to murder her roommate on a school trip. "What is the lobster doing in my bed?"

She refused to call it Dave.

Which just made Amaya blink back from behind her glasses, already in her bed with a book on Japanese armor that she'd picked up earlier that day. "What are you talking about? I just put him in the tub for the evening, didn't you see him in the bathroom?"

"So are you telling me that this," Rosa pulled back all the covers dramatically, revealing, sure enough, another lobster on her bed, crawling around and waving a confused claw at the two of them, "is a different lobster?"

Did....did they need to have a talk, Amaya??

Amaya, rather confused by the turn of events, leaned over a little for a better look.

"Yeah, that's definitely not Dave," she confirmed. She could tell. She shook her head, settling back. "I have no idea where that lobster came from, I only have just the one."

"So, you're telling me you have no idea why there is a lobster in my bed?" Rosa tried, giving Amaya a warning look, because she knew how bad you were at lying, Blackstone, you knew better than to think you could pull one over on her.

Or spend some time in Trunk's comfortable lounge and have some cocktails and coffee.

Hungry? You'll find breakfast, lunch and dinner in the aptly named Trunk(Kitchen), featuring a range of both Japanese and international cuisine.

If Kitchen's fare isn't to your liking, there's also TRUNK(Kushi), a restaurant celebrating the fine art of taking meat and putting it on a stick. And offal. Lots of offal.

Want to have dinner with robots and quite possibly blow out your retinas? Hop by the Robot Restaurant for a meal you won't forget.

These are alleys the way you picture an alley: a little narrow, a little foggy, and full of tiny bars. Most only have about five seats and often no real doors to speak of. Is there a better way to really embrace that Tokyo atmosphere?

You know that famous crosswalk you see in all those establishing shots of Tokyo in every show featuring Japan you've ever seen? That's Shibuya Crossing, a massive intersection surrounded by billboards. It's also surrounded by a ton of fun boutiques, restaurants and bars, so take some pictures, baffle at the hugeness of it all, and then go grab a bite.

Belle was thoroughly overwhelmed by this area of the city. It was nothing like anywhere she'd ever been before. But that was the point of this trip, wasn't it? An adventure! As long as she didn't end up getting swept up in a crowd and lost forever.

"Careful!" Shuri cautioned, waving at her. "There's a ton of people!"

"I have never seen this many people before," Belle said, eyes wide. "I may not have seen this many people in my entire life."

"Me either," Shuri confessed. "It's a lot."

"It is," Belle agreed. Especially for someone who had spent her whole life before coming to Fandom in the Enchanted Forest.

"I'm not even sure which way to go or where to look!"
