AFE Tour Blog Day 3: Roppongi

We finally got some sleep last night!

When we woke up we went and loaded out our equipment from the first show, ate some tacos, and loaded up the bus for Yokosuka. After about an hour and a half bus ride we arrived at our hotel. Our rooms weren’t ready yet but while we were waiting we discovered the most amazing massage chairs in the world. Seriously, these chairs were incredible. We checked in about an hour later and met up with Brent Williams. Brent informed us that since it was raining and we were scheduled to play outside, we get a night off. He then showed us around the base, helped us get some yen, and gave us a map to get to Roppongi.


Roppongi is Tokyo’s equivalent of Times Square. We took cabs to a train station, got on the train, argued about whether or not we were going the right way, transferred to another train, argued some more, realized how stupid we all were for not even thinking about buying a Japanese travel book, transferred to another train, and finally arrived at the Roppongi station about an hour later. We walked up and down the streets for a while before settling down for dinner at a “real” sushi place. The food was wonderful and the sake topped it all off. We finished our dinner and walked around some more just trying to take all the sights and sounds in before getting back on the train.


Somehow, we made it back to the base and headed to the on-base club. There were about 8 people in the first club so we quickly went to an area called “The Haunch” which is a small strip of clubs just off the base. There we met lots of great troops, sang some karaoke, and once again just tried to take it all in.
