Thanks Tokioblue!

I actually had just found the same alternate you suggested regarding taking a bus to Shinjuku Station if we miss the last one to Century Southern. Thanks for the details. I'm still holding out hope that since well be first off that we can maybe catch the last bus to our hotel.

We eat anything but seafood is our preference. I'm hoping bars serve sake. We don't drink much hard liquor and only can have so much beer so was excited about the possibility of being able to get sake at the bars.

First thing Friday morning when we go buy our JR East pass well go buy that magazine too. That's a great tip!

I'll try sending you a private message later about tying to meet up once I figure out how to do it = )

And thanks again for your help! I'm still do
