Bus Trip to new Haneda international

airport and the Imperial Palace Plaza

We went on a bus trip to new Haneda international airport and the Imperial Palace Plaza on September 19 (Monday). The bus left Noda city hall at nine and headed for Haneda via Hakozaki. On the left hand side of our way, we could see the Sky Tree which would open next spring. The weather was fine. We smoothly arrived at Haneda in an hour and a half.

The participants were 42 persons (31 adults and 11 children) from 9 countries. (8 Chinese, 4 Filipina, 3 Koreans, 2 Thai, 2 Pakistanis, a Vietnamese, a Taiwanese, a Peruvian, 18 NIA members and 2 citizens)

We all were impressed with an appearance of the Sky Tree seen from a bus window.
