We left Hiroshima at 6 am to be back to Tokyo by Shinkansen
Ada: At 6:20am we boarded the Hikari 500 shinkansen, or bullet train bound for Tokyo. In five hours, we traveled over 800 kilometers, or roughly 500 miles. When I looked on a map, I realized we had practically traveled across the entire main island and back! Riding the bullet train is very fun, you can see little towns nestled into forests, large cities, and the coasts of the Pacific Ocean, all in mere seconds. After arriving back in Tokyo, we dropped off our backpacks at the Tokyo W Inn. It feels great to have a literal weight lifted from your shoulders.
Lauren:After getting off of the shinkansen (bullet train), we went to the Studio Ghibli museum. Studio Ghibli is a popular Japanese animation studio, known for films such as My Neighbor Totoro. 
The museum had exhibits based off of locations in their films, and featured concept art, sketches and animations. There was also a gift shop where we could get plushies of our favorite Studio Ghibli characters!
My favorite part was seeing the giant robot replica on the roof.
Cael: After the thinking museum we went to cooking street, a street known for its cookware. 
Unfortunately we got there when a lot of the shops were closed. After that we went to an informal restaurant. We had fried chicken, pizza, gyoza, cheese sticks with seaweed, fries, and sausages. We talked about our favorite parts of the trip such as our favorite place we went as a group, our favorite Japanese foods, and our favorite place we went with our host families. Then we talked about what surprises us most about Japan, such as places in smaller towns not taking credit cards. 
After all that we went and sang karaoke with songs such as piano man, forget you, September ,and we didn’t start the fire. After that we were all pretty tired so after a quick conbini (convince store) stop and shower it was right to bed
