I have about 500 more photos to upload; the past few days have been BRUTAL with the amount of stuff Japan has been showing me. Plus, I gotta’ pack to get back home. Real quick bulleted list leading up to our last day:
- Went out to Nikko, a massive temple city on a mountain. INCREDIBLE. It’s where the hear / see / speak no evil monkey caricatures came from. It’s also the site of the 3rd largest Buddha in the world. Oh! And it’s a tomb of a Shogun.
- Thursday, we got up and went our separate ways for the morning; Jess went to the Imperial Palace and I went out to Akihabara.
- Met up with Tim in Ikebukuro where we went to Namjatown, a weird “theme park” inside the only shopping mall (it’s also the only underground shopping mall) in Tokyo. It’s owned by Namco! It has two important features: Gyoza Stadium and Ice Cream City. It also has a stupid haunted forest and probably some other dumb stuff. It’s the closest to Iron Chef I’ll probably ever experience.
- Shopped around Ikebukuro a little; that place is pretty excellent. Saw some sweet guitar stores and even more enormous camera stores. I tried to buy the latest Chanbara game for PS2 but they wouldn’t sell it to me because I didn’t have my passport. Fortunately! I’ve picked up a lot of little bits of the language while I’m here, so I was able to apologize and get out while the getting was good.
- Got some donuts on the way home. They’re nothing like donuts here! They’re like what somebody who had only ever seen donuts in a movie would make. Round bread covered in strawberry frosting.
- Yesterday, Jess and I went out to Tokyo Disney Sea, which is only a 15 minute ride by train from Tokyo Station. It was pretty excellent! Kind of like a Disney version of Islands of Adventure. Saw this show there:
- On the way home, and this is REALLY IMPORTANT, I stopped in a news stand and bought a fresh copy of Weekly Famitsu. I’m really, really going to miss this place.

Perhaps someday we’ll be on one of those trains, on the way to someplace weird, playing shining soul 2 on our gameboy micros.
Not to worry about the PS2 chanbaras! They have PAL versions!
I trust that ice cream city was made of real ice cream.

my chanbaras have shipped, they should make their way over to floridaland shortly after you return, for some visit/borrow time.
esplain this need for a passport thing to me?
have a safe trip!

They don’t honor American driving licenses here as forms of ID. And the latest Chanbara game (the remake of the second game) is rated D for some reason, when the previous versions were rated B. It’s like the ESRB, where A is for kids, B is for teens, and on up.
Also, hit up Akihabara for the last time today. Picked up 3 of the bitgen games for ya’s, Mike, as well as an additional copy of Orbital for you, Jack. I also got an extra copy of Kururin Paradise (a.k.a. Irritating Stick) for GBA for 500 yen for anybody who wants it.
Oh. And we got a purple PSP slim. It’s pretty incredible.
