Calling his Japan trip as 'successful', Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrapped up the five-day tour and left for New Delhi on Wednesday.

The five-day tour of Japan by Modi, which felt like a special odyssey steeped in culture and bonhomie, started on Saturday when Japanese PM Shinzo Abe flew from Tokyo to Kyoto, to specially receive him, which was unprecedented.

Speaking at the Indian community reception held in his honour, PM Modi didn't forget to mention the 'trillions', referring to the 3.5 trillion Yen (USD 35 billion or 2,10,000 crore) promised by Japan to India over next five years for various developmental works.

"There has been talk about billions and millions. But there has never been talk of trillions," he said.

"This visit has been very successful," Modi added.
