2019-09-06 06:03:33 +0000 UTC View PostWoah! That was a strong one!
Today, I spend the day filming at the Tokyo firefighters disaster learning center. I had a lot to say about my experience living through one of the strongest ever in Japan on 3/11/2011 and they have a simulator that allows you to experience the exact - same - quake - AGAIN! I don’t wanna do it again.

Konnichiwa! I hope everyone is doing great! This month is Japan's most beautiful night view - Mt Hakodate on the bottom tip of Hokkaido. I was last here with Kanae in 2017 and thought I'd share the view with you both night and day. It's the top attraction in the city - besides the seafood and Kaisendon!! Have you ever been to Hakodate?
Thank you so much for the support and being a part of our ONLY in JAPAN community.
Next month, I'm aiming for a lovely Shinkansen shot, one from Osaka ...

I’m here in Sado thanks to our support here (THANK YOU) and I wasn’t sure on the story but knew there was one here.
The EARTH CELEBRATION on Sado has been going in since 1988. It it the biggest event on Sado Island and maybe in Niigata.
The story is about KODŌ, a very famous Taiko group that has grown, something hard to do in the arts, making the group more like a brand. The Kodo brand has a soul, and we can see it in the way new members train. They have to all go through ...
