More Japan Pics
Here's a couple more pics from our japan adventure. Sorry if you guys are looking for JDM ******, they're not in here. Kind of difficult with the wifey at my side all the time. But there's a couple nice one's of some of the scenery.
Here's Leila and Jayden, my brother Kyle and my sister Marlo and her husband Carl at the airport in Osaka. Pretty damned tired after the 9+ hour flight. And then we took a bus for another hour or so.
McDonald's anyone? I guess they love eggs in Japan, because who else would think to put it in a friggin Big Mac?
Tired and ready to go out and eat in Osaka
Leila and Jayden @ the Peace Memorial in Hiroshima. It was pretty interesting to read/see all about the attack on Hiroshima. Kinda sad, but it is History and deserves to be remembered.
They had a some killer X-mas lights up at the Marriott Hotel we stayed at in Nagoya. Beats the Honolulu ones hands down.
Here's a quick shot of Mt. Fuji from the Shinkansen. Pretty cool to see it in person. By the way, those bullet trains are the sh-t! They go up to 187mph and it still feels like nothing. Super comfortable and quiet.
Couple shots from our tour in the city of Tokyo. There's a shot of Tokyo tower, a view fro Tokyo tower, and a shot of Asakusa (pretty much like a tourist shopping area). Also got a shot of the Imperial Palace gardens.
Lastly some at Hakone. It was pretty much foggy all over, but it eventually cleared up. It was so pretty hard to see at some times. Also, at the Hotel we stayed at in Hakone, there was a little man-amde slope set up for the kids, so Jayden couldn't resist.

Yup, the onsen is a awesome experience. At first it was a little weird at the thought of being naked with my son, brother, and dad all at the same time, but nobody even thinks of it once you get in. It's cool because it's like 40 something degrees outside, overlooking a beautiful lake, and sitting in some hot azz water.
