Now listen. I’m a defender of gaijin here in Japan. I think gaijin in Japan are a good thing.
But not when they do shit like this. Do better, guys. You are making all of us look bad with this unacceptable behavior.
Do this shit anywhere else for all I care. Just don’t do it here.

If you’re in the area (which isn’t too hard to get to from Sendai Station, just need to time it right!) you must visit the Ishinomori Manga Museum as well. It’s chock full of awesome displays and interactive exhibits showcasing much of Ishinomori’s works.

Visited Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture. Shotaro Ishinomori, who is from the area, and his legacy are celebrated here, and as such, the streets (the main one of which is called Manga Road) are filled with Kamen Rider, Cyborg 009, and more statues!

If you ever end up in Nagoya for more than a day, take a three hour bus up to Shirakawa-go from there. Trust me, your eyeballs will thank you the whole time, and so will your entire being if you go there in the summer to escape the disgusting heat.

And to top it all off, a showcase featuring a bunch of Pili puppets, including some from freaking Thunderbolt Fantasy. This airport ended up being way more interesting than Narita or Haneda combined 🤣

Today we finally got to see THE movie of all time. It was pretty solid, and had a bunch of great emotional scenes as well as tons of action, but it didn’t make me cry tears of manliness like the last one did. Looking forward to part 2, anyway

I’m about a 40min walk from the coast at Tokyo Bay & was worried about evacuating, but my in-laws told me that our area is sufficiently above sea level & I’m not at ground level in our place so should be fine not to worry if the 1m advisory for Tokyo Bay area is correct, but I can’t shake the nerves
