We are in Japan! A longer post will be coming soon (Wednesday?), but I just wanted to let everyone know that we are here and it is wonderful. Oh, it’s everything I wanted it to be and more.
I need to take more pictures of just the mundane things – it’s not half as scenic as Hawaii, so we haven’t been taking a ton of pics – but I’ve been here for like 48 hours and I already love just existing here. The roads are all designed for pedestrians first, there’s so much greenery even in the city, the buildings have so much character, the food is so good and so cheap… it’s fantastic. I never want to leave.
Our part of the city is, for some reason, *very* strongly connected with the manga “Captain Tsubasa,” so the nearest train station is decorated with it.A bad picture of our Airbnb.There’s a cool-looking Buddhist temple right next to our Airbnb. I don’t have any pictures of it, but there’s a massive (and densely packed) graveyard behind it.There are a decent number of cats out once the sun goes down; not all of them let you pet them, but some do!Tokyo Skytree!Just a cool bridge near us.There’s *so much* greenery just everywhere in (this part of) the city!We went for a walk to a Daiso nearby!Cassie and Shaz in a cute little park we found. Fun fact – this park also doubles as an emergency shelter; every bench is also either a grill, toilet, or supply storage!Shaz posing in their full Japanese-style getup.
