Wow, that magical hoodie is more powerful than I thought. No wonder Grog was so fixated on getting one.

More Japan Credit Whoring!!!


Miles had a *wee bit* too much to drink last night!


We have found a vending machine selling "Muffin in a can!"


Hey look! This muffin in a can is made out of REAL space shuttle!


Check us out girls! We have "muffin in a can!"


Steve says "see this man sitting next to me? He and Jesus used to party it up in the biblical days!".


Oh no! Joey!!! Look out for that T-Rex!


Follow this sign. Walk about a mile. And you'll find a roller coaster!


Wow! The coaster looks great!


And they had a bonus dark ride!


Just in case you forgot the name of the park!


This Jet Coaster was much bigger than we were expecting.


Step on the bug!!! STEP ON THE BIG BUG!!!! ...before he gets to the children...


The next stop was not only a coaster credit but also a culture credit! We were smack in the "center of Japan!"


The park mascot was also in the center of japan.


You all ready to ride the Roller Skater in the center of Japan?


TPR totally takes over the Roller Skater in the center of Japan!


There is a giant ferris wheel in the Center of Japan!


The park was cute!


They had plenty of those ride on pigs and pandas.


Ooh! Scary walk thru dark ride!


I'm not sure what this is, but it makes me nervous!


KidTums plays with balls.


Time for a pit stop at JAPANESE MCDONALDS!!!


Dan will be sad to find out that the "rabbit burger" is now the "dork burger!". Same sandwich, Same promotion, different mascot. Out with the rabbit, in with the dork!


The next park is so far out in the boonies that we have to take the ghetto train!


Galaxy Express 999 fans may like this!


Yay! We made it to the middle of nowhere!


It's a little ghetto but we've seen a lot worse.


This ghetto coaster turned out to be GREAT!


For a smaller sized coaster this had a lot of speed and a great pop of airtime at the end!


Hold on TIGHT KidTums!!!


Even Jeff Johnson loved the coaster!


Hey look! A ride that is perfect size for both Joey and Kristen!


Time to get back on the train!


The Galaxy Express train has seen better days.


We totally got the Pokemon bullet train!


Shinjuku station is a little crazy, but you can find our favorite Indian restaurant near here.


"Hey Dan...we had 24 Chicken Tikka's, 18 garlic naan, and 11 Chicken Malsala. All level 10 "Indian Spicy!". Taiko Happy


Good to see the "Fishing Restaurant" is still alive and kicking!


"Ooh Tastey Fish!"


Party in the elevator!!!


Still one of my favorite JR Rail signs!

I figured I'd just throw it out there. I moderately enjoy Kamen Rider.

I really need to get out to Japan one of these days.

Seconded. Kamen Rider is like PR...except GOOD. The latest one (That pink and black watermellon-looking dude) wasnt that good, but they just started a new series that looks pretty promising.

Aaaaaaaaaaanyways, awesome TR is awesome. Keep those updates coming, and have fun in Japan!

Curious I am sure you mentioned it before but... When you go on these trips do you know the Languages and how to read the signs or do you study up before hand or have someone with your group that does?

When we go to China we hire a guide but in Japan, Elissa and I know enough Japanese and understand how to get around the country that we are able to do it on our own.

I'm loving all the Jeff Johnson pictures. Seriously, I don't think I laughed as hard in a long time as I did on the picture of KT playing with her JJ toy. Taiko LMAO!

And that first Jet Coaster of the most recent update (the yellow and blue one, I think) actually looks decent compared to the bland-looking other Jet Coasters I've seen.
