First official day of TPR's Southern Japan trip has begun. Elissa goes over the most important rule of this trip... "Don't lose your rail pass!"

Ahh, the Japanese vending machines! Pocari Sweat, anyone?

Coke Zero is everywhere in Japan now! Diabetics rejoice!

Today's TPR Japan Adventure includes traveling about 700 miles across Japan on some pretty bad-ass bullet trains!

KidTums checks out Japan at 190MPH!

Bento box tastes the same at 190MPH!

When we told the rail ticket office we were a group of theme park geeks...they gave us our car!

The Japanese Shinkansen is totally bad-ass!

TPR in the middle of nowhere Train station scaring the hell out of the locals!

And even you too can drive the train!

Welcome to Kashiikaen - Random Japanese park and Jet Coaster in the middle of nowhere!

Japan has a ton of these "Jet Coasters" and they are all pretty much the same. Impressive looking 100-150 foot tall coasters that sort of just meander around. This one at least had some "ok" airtime and some pretty fast sections.

Yay! First credit of the trip!!!

Josh paid an extra 10,000 yen for this additional "service!"

The park is very small, geared mostly for kids, and is in the middle of nowhere!

And yes, there is a powered kiddie coaster for the real sad and pathetic credit whores!

Big Mike was bummed that only KidTums got this credit!

Overall, great first day of the trip!
