Dec. 9th, 2014 10:20 amWell, here's something I can do in Japan for a unique tourist experience!
Breaking news!
Oct. 29th, 2014 09:42 amThere is an arcade in Kawasaki, Japan built to look like part of Kowloon Walled City because Japan.
That is all.
That is all.
- Find department store sale of Christmas stuff and buy some sort of Santa*
- Find a Mister Donut and buy cupcakes.
- Sleep
* I'm not entirely sure how or why I started this, but once we bought the house I started collecting Santas figures/dolls/what-have-you, one per year. I am hoping against all hope that there will be something available on December 27th in the clearance areas, because to go to Japan over Christmas and not get something to commemorate that would be just a bit sad. (If I don't find one, I'll probably order one from somewhere online. HOPEFULLY. SOMEHOW.)
Japanese-reading people?
Dec. 18th, 2013 03:41 pmCan one of you take a gander at this page and tell me if you can figure out if the program where you can SHAKE HANDS WITH AN OTTER is a temporary thing or what? The original blog post I found on it mentioned that it was only open for a few weeks this summer, but I can see dates in December on that other page. Perhaps it's only on at certain times during the year?
Because if I canfeed fish to shake hands with an otter, that would be a strong candidate for Things To Do In Japan on the next trip. :)
Because if I can
We've decided on our next trip, although not when it will be. We're going to Japan! When? Well, either one year from now or two years from now, depending on money, employment, and other factors. Why are we traveling in winter?

We didn't dream it all!
Mar. 11th, 2008 09:04 amgryfeathr's in Kyoto now, and I gave her directions to the mysterious kitsune shrine rachelmanija and I found. After a phone email of "We can't find it!" that had me wondering how much more mysterious this shrine could get, she and her companion/s managed to find it, and she sent me a picture from her phone.( Cut for pic )
Leonardo models!
Nov. 19th, 2007 04:44 pmI found the company that makes the Leonardo da Vinci models like the one I posted about earlier!
http://www.boford.co.jp/html/sobyou.html
They have a webshop up at http://store.yahoo.co.jp/kaho/index.html but I haven't the slightest idea how to navigate around it, what their prices are like, or if they ship to the US (and it looks vaguely like they may do bulk orders only).
OTOH, they're also the company that makes the little models of weapons from Blade of the Immortal. I have Magatsu's double sword (it's the one right above the SECRET blurred-out one).
