Wife and I are traveling down to Yokohama from Sendai using the Seishun 18 Kippu, a rail pass that only cost ¥12,050 for 5 days of use! The catch? You can ONLY use it for local trains! Our trip today from Sendai to Yokohama will take 8+ hours and will require 8 transfers!

Went out and recorded about 5 short-form videos today.

Getting interviewed tomorrow on a five-hour video shoot as part of a promotional video for the Sendai Startup Visa program.

Sunday might just be for relaxing lol.

Oh god why did I get two??

Big hint!

Spotted this shady character on the way to the store yesterday

Caught the midday chime on camera! This is from Shiogama City in Miyagi Prefecture.

Originally, these were played to alert field workers that it was lunchtime, but they also serve an important function in today's society: a daily test of the emergency alert system!

Having a predominantly North American livestream audience means you will sometimes eat curry udon for breakfast.

...I'm VERY okay with this lol

Handsome boy spotted on the street in Shiogama!

My first hot meal in Japan was eaten at 4am at an udon shop in a Tochigi service station. Noodles were cooked in about 40 seconds and total was about $5 USD. I really appreciated the rack of assorted tempura options you could add! (the kakiage spoke to me the loudest) #japan #料理
