Got up nice and early today as I was starting my four day journey out of Tokyo. Went to Tokyo station where I got my Japan Rail Pass and boarded the Shinkansen for Osaka. Felt like I was on an airplane but on the ground. It was interesting watching t...

This was a wonderful surprise during my walk today. The local shrine was having a festival including food and entertainment. Didn't expect anything like this today and really made me smile.

Decided to take it easy today since tomorrow I head out to Osaka and Kyoto for 4 days. Did the laundry and decided to walk around the neighborhood to take in some local color. Sure enough, the locals provide some interesting stores with the Mao chine...

After dropping off my bags at my next hotel, I headed straight for Ginza as I knew that the famous Kabuiki-Za Theater was scheduled for demolition and I wanted pics of this great building. Before I got there though, I had to stop at the Sony building...

After Harajuku, I walked straight down Meiji Dori to Shibuya. This is where Tokyo Youth fashion and fads happens. Got a video of people doing the famous Shibuya crossing from the Starbucks before getting a Matcha Latte and heading back to Ikebukuro f...

Gotten a bit behind here with all the walking around so I'm gonna do several post today starting with my trip to Harajuku. This is the section of town with the famous goth lolitas but none were here today. Did walk through the Meiji shrine which is a...

Checking out of the hotel today but took a walk through the gardens attached to the hotel after breakfast. Really beautiful and relaxing.

Decided to walk from the hotel to the train station in Ikebukuro before heading to Akiba today. Usually take the local train to the main station but decided I wanted to see some local color first. Not as exciting as Akiba but still quite nice. Got qu...

I've always wanted to see the cherry blossoms in Japan but always came too late. Not this year! Got to see a bunch around Ueno park. Check it out.

Woke up this morning, took a look outside my window and made my plans for the day. Decided to first go to Ueno as the ryokan I stayed in last year remodeled their hotel front and I didn't want to get lost with luggage in tow. As I headed to the train...

Finally made it back to our shared homeland and man am I beat. I was so happy to see Narita airport and took a few pics of some of the billboards and areas. Also got some pics of the new Narita Express train which looks very nice. When I got to Tokyo...

Tomorrow morning is the day I finally get to go back to Japan and I'm so excited! It's going to be my longest trip, 3 weeks, and I finally get to ride the Shinkansen as I'll be spending a few days in Osaka and Kyoto. I'm going well prepared this time...

Today, I feel one step closer to our comrade Danny Choo because I now know why he likes this stuff so much. My local supermarket chain Publix made a stand with various products from Britain including Danny's fave tea. I purchased a box and had a cupp...

I've been to Japan three times so far and am returning again at the end of April for a 3 week vacation. It was Danny's motivating articles about his journey to Japan that finally got me on a 17 hour plane ride to what I consider the best place on ear...

I've had all of these packed up in a box when I decided to "grow up" but have come to realize thanks to Danny that if growing up means denying who I am and what I like, its not worth it so this ones for the Gundam fans. Never had even seen a single e...

Figured I'd join the Desktop Legion and show my rig off.
