Aaand we are back in Japan. I suppose it was going to happen eventually.

This time around will be Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, but this time we will be adding Takayama to the list. Popular vacation town in the middle of the mountains somewhere. As luck would have it a volcano erupted there recently. Luckily the winds a blowing the ash in the other direction so we should be good.

Random shop in inaricho. No inari here though snort snort

What’s that? We look tired? That’s because the damn Air Asia plane decides to arrive just before the final train departs the airport!

Here’s me at a ninja shop wishing I had a sword so I can be a cool ninja too

Neat design for the chairs at Ekimise in Asuakusa

Pretending I’m Japanese. Quickly reverted to pyjamas, so much more comfy.

Our first hotel. Pretty good, barely any room to move but that is also known in Japan as “too much room”

Mmm cold soba. A fare treat in Perth, but here it’s normal food! Wow!

These mayo bottles have a convenient shape to grab onto

Had these the first time around. Still good!

Even the shopping trolleys were efficiently sized

The ninja shop has targets for kids to aim at. I was tempted but decided against trying it out.

The Japanese equivalent of an expedit perhaps?

Some toilets have the “Princess flush”. You can now perform perpetual poops in peace. It really helps surprisingly enough. Not as well as squat toilets though.
