For our final meal in Japan, my lovely colleague Teruko-san took us out for amazing sushi! (I ATE EEL.) 🍣

TFW you’re sad you didn’t manage to see Mt. Fuji on your trip to Japan… and then you realise you can see it from your office. 😲❤️🗻

Pride goeth before a fall. After my success navigating Shinjuku in the morning, I utterly failed to make it back to the hotel in the evening. Crap GPS due to skyscrapers and even more crap directions from Google Maps saw me wandering lost for 25 min. I finally gave up, parked myself in the nearest Starbucks, and called the Snook to come pick me up. He did. #humiliated #grateful #hesthebest

Today’s accomplishment – navigating the world’s busiest transport hub (Shinjuku Station – 3.5M+ ppl per day) in the world’s biggest city (Tokyo – 37M+ ppl) all on my own to get to work. 😅🏆

We visited the Hakone Open-Air Museum and looked at Art. But I think you can tell the piece that he was most excited about… 😂❤️

Day trip to Hakone today involved 7 different means of transportation! One big fast train, one other one that climbed an 8% grade up the mountain, a funicular cable car, a rope skyway, a PIRATE SHIP, a bus ride, and of course, our own feet. 😅🚊🚞🚠🏴‍☠️🚌

Current status: swaying over a volcano in Japan. 😳🌋

Sightseeing, shrines, shopping, and sake today in Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Shibuya. It was also lovely to catch up with my colleague Nick and our old buddy Kame!
