Japan Trip Report Arrival and Day 1
Hi there, my name is Fräulein Asuka-chan, I have been assigned the duty of writing this trip report to Japan for Papa, why me you said? Well, I was picked from the handful of articulated figures from Papa’s collection to travel with him during this trip to Japan, there were stiff competitions from Figma Saber and Figma Feito, but I won due to the fact that I have been Papa’s favorite for much longer than Saber and Feito.

Since this is the first time for Papa to travel to Japan, he was more or less relying on his friend Fumoffu to guide him, our first stop was actually LAX airport where we spent a little time outside and had breakfast at Scotty's on The strand at Hermosa Beach.
And here is the picture he took outside of Scotty's, their "Scotty's special" omelet was quite delicious.
The seating arrangement we got was quite comfortable, so by the time Papa woke up from his sleep, we were only 4 hours away from Narita International Airport.
And here, Papa was rocking away with some Kamen Rider Black RX tune on the plane while enjoying his black coffee.
And the meal we had just prior to landing.
And there we were, arrived in Japan!
After we cleared the Japan Custom, we headed down to the JR station to take the Narita Express train to our hotel which is in Shinjuku.
Some scene along the way.
The express train ticket from Narita to Shinjuku costed 3310 yen.
And there we were, arrived at the Shinjuku station!

you should have gotten this package for Narita Express: http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/suica-nex/index.html
It's a better deal (3,500yen for normal or 5,000yen for better seats) and you get the Suica card as well! U can use it for trains, some vending machines and others. The minimum charge/top-up for the suica card is 1000 yen though ^^
oh, forgot to mention, u get 1500yen inside the Suica card too with the package ^^
Ahhh that's nice, well I was just following Fumoffu around so I have no idea! I will be sure to remind him next time!
I'll check into that for the next trip in October. Sounds pretty good.
Loved the pics. I've been to Narita a few times. Mostly whenever I go back to the states. Some of the country side scenery is nice on the way over. Wanted to get out and take a few pics. ^^;
There are definitely some nice scenery shots, I was moving on the train so I could only manage a few hehe.
There are some really nice photos on your site, I might also have to document my travels when I head over.
I don't really travel a lot, this was probably my first vacation out of the states in the past 5 years or so! Japan is cool, I would love to visit again sometime.
Not sure why this post got unapproved. Can you remember when it got removed from top page?
Hi Danny, it was removed from the top page probably within 2-3 minutes of posting, hope that will help you track down the issue :3
You got in the 1st class seat, wow!
It was an experience I won't soon forget lol, I got too much champagne to drink!
I thought that looked TOO good for an airplane seat XD So it is a first class. The only way to travel, hahaha. Nice for Asuka to enjoy Japan along with you ^^
It was quite fancy alright, the stewardess was very attentive, perhaps too attentive. Kept asking me if I needed anything else! I already drank enough champagne lol. I wished it was a longer flight lol.
omg getting drunk on a plane... i guess that's a way to forget fear of flights XD lol.
Well I drank enough to put me to sleep because it was vital for me to not get any jet lag due to my trip being so short! I have to say their Port wine went well with the dessert!
o_O that's an airplane seat? Wish I get to experience it once in a while XD
It's the new United First Class, it was my first time to experience it myself. It was quite an experience.
I hope you brought along her rifle.
Asuka can't rely on her martial arts skills all the time in.. THE TRAIN.
Ahh, didn't bring her rifle ;s It was last minute packing so I forgot!
you got a tasy sandwich i want one!
The sandwich was good!
Man, business class all the way from LA to Japan, that is sure nice!
Its the new 1st class on United Airlines, we got business on the way back :(
Wow, that plane looks fancy... Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!
