Japan-Bound

Sun Jun 28, 2009, 8:50 AM
So I'll be off to Japan on Tuesday, with hardly a plan.

Going to Japan was pretty much a quick decision. I was getting ready to wrap up to go home to the Philippines for the summer, when I looked at my funds and realized, "Hey, there's enough in here to send me to Japan for 2 weeks!"

And so here I am.

I'm not really much if a planner though, and I'm usually the kind of person who'll mostly just hang around 'till she hears about something cool, and then go see it. But maybe since I'm gonna be there for two weeks, I might as well gather more information.

So far I'll be visiting:
The Ghibli Museum
The 1:1 scale Gundam Model (even if I'm not a Gundam fan, it should be cool to see!)
The Takarazuka Grand Theatre (and will try to see a revue as well if I could get tickets)
Osamu Tezuka (creator of Astroboy/Tetsuwan Atom) Museum

..And of course, the usual Harajuku and Shibuya shopping areas, otaku-watching in Akihabara (maybe even a visit to a maid cafe, hee hee), and a bit of nightlife (and Yakuza-spotting) in Shinjuku

Other than that, I have no plan. So if anyone knows of anything interesting happening over there, do let me know about it so I can check it out :D

My itinerary is as follows:
Osaka
Kyoto
Nara
Nagoya
Tokyo
Then back to Osaka

So anything in or around those areas would be awesome :)

I'm keeping park, temple, castle, and museum visits to a minimum, since it's mostly been-there-done-that already for me. We're talking pop culture here :)

Whatever happened to your transformation works?
I only do transformations as commissions. I'm personally not into TF so I don't do it if I'm not getting paid for it.
