Japan Day 12
Day 12 of #gainesgeauxtojapan we soaked up our last moments in Japan. We finally found a fluffy pancake place to try. Tomorrow we head home and we are ready for our own beds!
A few vacation stats:
80 miles walked
172 flights of stairs
4 bullet trains rides
6 bowls of ramen
50+ gyozas consumed
6 Don Quijote visited
8 stuffy wins at claw machines
Countless convenience stores visited
2 times doing laundry
1 new suitcase filled with snacks
A lifetime or memories made!
Also I’m obsessed with Japanese toilets. Seat warmers, bidets, privacy noises—- every single Tiolet the same no matter at a hotel, a house, train station or gas station.
Japan Day 11
Day 11 of #gainesgeauxtojapan we took a side trip to Itsukushima, commonly called Miyajima, is a small island in Hatsukaichi, Japan, famous for the UNESCO World Heritage Itsukushima Shrine, known for its iconic "floating" torii gate that appears to float on the water at high tide. We visited the islands aquarium. And then it was back to Hiroshima for dinner and we had to buy a suitcase for all our snacks we are bringing home 🤣
Japan Day 10
Day 10 of #gainesgeauxtojapan we headed to Hiroshima today. It was a sobering day visiting the Peace Museum and the A-Dome monument. Such an evil and cruel world we live in. It was a hard day.
Japan day 9
Day 9 of #gainesgeauxtojapan our last hours in Osaka we spent at the Experience Samurai where we dressed in traditional clothing, learned the art of calligraphy, learned the art of the tea ceremony, played with swords, and dressed in Samurai armor. It was the highlight of the trip!
We also played many of the thousands of claw machines that are on every street here. Andrew looked up how to bring a franchise to Louisiana 🤣🤣
