If I arrive at our little train station and there are more than the dozen or so people waiting, and the train already arrives full, it's probably not a good idea to try to go into Tokyo. I was crazy though and got on and it took me THREE hours to make it my destination, the Japan Hobby Show.
I suppose the good thing about arriving as late as I did, was that I didn't have to wait in the long admission lines. So there was a plus. The show was very nice. ALL kinds of crafts and hand's on activities. I got a few new ink pads, and in the end, I was glad I went for it. Although, considering it only took me an hour to get back home, it was a rather crazy day.
Aaaah, the joys of Golden Week!

Oh, this had nothing to do with Golden Week. There was apparently a problem on the JR line that shut it down before 7AM.

I would have not jumped into that train, WOW like a can of sardines so packed, but also glad to read you enjoyed the crafts and took home some new goodies!
