Hi everyone! Kris here, 32 year old from Orlando, FL! Just a little about myself, this will be my third time to Japan but the first two times were YEARS ago before I started medical school. ><; I’ve been telling myself I was gonna go back once I finished residency and that day is soon here! Super excited! Definitely looking forward to hitting up a real kaiten sushi spot again!(conveyer belt sushi)
I love collecting various things from my favorite shows so will definitely plan on rummaging through Akihabara @_@. First time I went I checked into my hotel and got into the train straight for Akihabara, just enough time to peruse some shops before they closed down for the day. But oh man, it was overhwelming. Being jet-lagged and a little dehydrated I remember nearly passing out somewhere I think it was the 5th or 6th floor of the Animate Store(Yes, there are THAT many floors!). I’m gonna date myself with this tidbit but one of my favorite finds and still in one of my display cases is an official replica Alchemist’s watch from Full Metal Alchemist. I had to use some rudimentary Japanese to ask them to open the very nice display case to sell it to me, but I was then and now a huge fan of the show and could not leave Japan without it!
To all the first timers on the Tour, congrats! You are finally checking off that visit to our “Holyland” ;)
