What do you expect when you cross rigorous gun control laws with a culture who has a history of believing a sword houses one's spirit? Crime is crime, wherever you go-- it just so happens that because guns are not so available, you end up with seemi...
Awesome pictures as usual. I can't wait to go back to Tokyo, but the plane fares these days :((( Those last few pictures looks like Ginza Bairin! Best tonkatsu EVER.
I also don't care for the large groups of kids who congregate in certain areas and just make a generally large amount of noise. I guess I'm showing my age there. Otherwise, I love trains-- especially Japan's trains. A well designed rail system is...
JPOP's been an on and off love affair for me. 10 years ago, I used to rip cd's for the premier mp3 group aSx. After 4 years of amassing a fairly large collection of CD's I realized exactly how much I had spent (average price of $35 per cd) and drop...
Fantastic news! I've been to Tokyo, Paris, Barcelona and Rome over the last two years and I can easily say the worst part about being there was the smoke. The hard part is that it's so ingrained within the culture-- tabacco stores are never more th...
Amazing photos again. I think I enjoy these Week in Tokyo articles more than anything. I much prefer to 'go native' in a country, than just tourist about all day every day. Oh yes, nice VF-1 too :)
I still think Japanese trains are the most pleasant and safe to ride. No matter how insanely packed the trains manage to get, there seems to rarely be any sort of incident. I much rather have it that way than in some other countries where you have...
Definitely on the list. I've had the pleasure of being at a few nice ones, including a routenburo in Hakone and Dougo Onsen down in Ehime. Dougo in particular was so hot, I could barely breathe when I got out and had to spend the next 5 minutes ta...
Gorgeous photos Danny. It's been too long since I've last been to Japan (2 years ago ^^;) I will always miss the food and the sites. The next time I go back I will make sure to rectify my greatest mistake-- not eating sushi at 6am at Tsukiji-shijo...
Haha, well played. I fell for at least a couple of them. TAF looks like a GunPla fanatic's dreamworld. But best thing there = God Keron. That thing is made of 200% win.
Been watching Anime for over 15 years now. It never seems that long ago until you realize shows you used to watch like Kimagure Orange Road and Ranma 1/2 were shown in the late 80's! I remember how it seemed like Ranma used to be naked every other...
Never been injured too bad myself-- I did see this exact scene play out 8 years ago in Kobe though. Someone through himself into the path of the train at Oujikouen Station I think. Wasn't pretty.
