Up at 5;00 am, prayer, shower, shaved, and packed suitcases to be shipped to the second hotel we will be staying at on Sunday. Debbie showered, and when she got ready, we had prayer. together. We checked out of the Westin Marriott and checked our bags to Westin near the airport. We will get them before we depart Japan for the USA. We caught a commuter train to Tokyo Shinjuku Station, the businest rail way station in the world, and caught the bullet train to Kyoto Station.
