We have finished another step in our preparations for our expedition to the Land of the Rising Sun. Base camp will be established in [1] 名古屋市 (Nagoya) from there, we will travel to [2] 京都 (Kyoto) where we shall stay a few days and marvel at the sights of the old capital. Next we will take the Shinkansen to the modern capital [3] [4] 東京 (Tokyo),, where we will stay almost a week. A dear fiend has kindled our interest for the 秋葉原 district,, which is the main hang-out for おたく and we will most certainly visit one of the コスプレ系飲食店. I might even go there in full gear, though I strongly doubt that I will be able to get my steampunk gear to Japan, but we shall see. I can take my goggles with me, sure enough, but for the rest, I do not know so far. There are rather heavy limitations on this journey when it comes to baggage.

Oh, I long for the glorious days of the Zeppelin, when yo could travel in style and need not mind the weight or size of your gear.

None the less, I am looking foreward to this trip. The longest and farest reaching so far. We still have a few days to fill after our stay in Tokyo and we might go and tackle Fuji-San.
