Sapporo Beer Museum: A Refreshing Tour

If I’m in Sapporo, I have to go to the Sapporo Beer Museum.  It’s pretty much a museum of the old factory where they still do some of the brewing.  The beer was crisp and extremely refreshing.

Robot Restaurant Shinjuku: Adrenaline, Robots and Dancing Ladies

The Robot Restaurant show was designed for tourists like me.  So if you don’t know much about Japan, you’d probably have some general knowledge that Japan is the home on ninjas, samurais, robots and girls dancing.  This show puts all that together in one place

1/15 I arrived at Kansai International Airport (KIX) at 06:30.  I arrived at the Intercontinental Osaka at 9am.  If you know where you’re going, the trip should only take about an hour.

Bow Game Out of Control At The Intercontinental Osaka

Their bow game is out of control! 45’s all day! 45 is the degree of the bow, a very respectful amount.  Staying at the suite there is a life I’d like to live, but even getting to live it one day was an amazing experience.
