Tokyo’s Extraordinary Street Food Festival | Torinoichi 2023

I uploaded today’s stream in HD size, it’s so much better quality in the playback, but the last LIVE one is unlisted but still viewable with the link. I want to see if you prefer this to leaving up the stream quality videos for later viewing. I save a clean copy of each stream locally on my iPhone which looks so nice, I figure I’ll experiment and see what everyone thinks. Enjoy the show 🍿 (again?) Leo & Kanae we’re in bed at 7pm!!! I think this festival wore them out 😂

Notice for those in Tokyo

The Yamanote Line will be suspended at Shibuya Station for the track shifting this weekend. If you’re trying to get around, this may impact your trip. Plan ahead, perhaps take the Hanzomon Line, Ginza Line or Fukutoshin Line into Shibuya. I’ll be in Shibuya tomorrow for a quick stream ti cover it.

I’ll share more photos of the fall colors here and Instagram this week. We came through Fujiyoshida and stopped at Arakurayama Sengen Park, 100% foreign tourists here! (I’m not joking!) much love from the road, J K L

Tokyo’s Robot Service is Amazing

So I forgot my keys and locked myself out of the house with Leo. I had to go to a restaurant to wait for Kanae’s father to let me in with her keys.

We were both sort of disappointed 😂 but didn’t say anything. Instead, we ordered ice cream hoping it would be the robot and sure enough, delivered by our fr...
