Flying to Tokyo After killing a few hours at e Jakarta airport, the check in counters for my flight to Tokyo opens. I quickly check in and make my way to the Plaza Premium Lounge in the terminal 3.

Suntory Yamazaki Whisky Museum Our last full day in Japan would first see us visiting the Yamazaki Whisky Museum. We'd booked this earlier, but even by then the paid tour with tastings were already full. We hopped on the train and arrived at the distillery front gate/security office and were given passes to wear and directed to the museum building. We were able to walk through the museum and...
