Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo
The final destination of a very full day that started in Chiba’s Mount Nokogiriyama and then moved on to teamLab Planets TOKYO was appropriately one that had caffeine. One place I really wanted to visit while in Japan was the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Tokyo. It turned out that on this last adventure together it…

teamLab Planets TOKYO
One of the last days in Japan would turn out to be one of the busiest ones of my trip. After the ferry service was suspended due to wind and we were unable to use them to return after our visit to Chiba and Mount Nokogiriyama, we had to come up with another plan for…

Battleship Mikasa – Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
As the trip began to wind down, I found myself with some free time to go and explore the area around me. Deciding to make the most of it, I ventured out to see what I could see. This turned out to be a very full day full of exploring, riding trains, walking, photography, and…

Tokyo Disneyland – Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
As the end of my trip to Japan began to near, it was time to visit the Tokyo Disney Resort once again. This time, the destination was Tokyo Disneyland. I will admit, that I didn’t entirely know what to think ahead of the trip to this castle park. I had heard that Tokyo DisneySea is…

Mount Fuji Adventures and a Fish on a Stick – Mr. Daps Goes to Japan

Sarushima Island – Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
The next adventure while in Japan was a second try to go to Sarushima Island. Thankfully, this time was successful. The wind had died down and the sun was out in force as we made our way back to the ferry terminal to take the quick ride out to this island. I should say, it…

A Surprise Day in Yokohama – Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
After a “rest day” from our trip to Enoshima, Izu Peninsula, and Odawara Castle, we decided to take a local boat out to Sarushima Island. It was a windy morning as we made our way to the ferry (a catamaran that was like a tour boat). Arriving at the office for the ferry, we discovered that…

An Island, a Peninsula, and a Castle – Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
Some days in Japan one adventure would lead to the next… and then lead to the next. What started out as a rather simple excursion turned into quite an adventure on this specific day. The original plan was to go to Enoshima Island. This can be reached by either train or by car. In our…

The Kannonzaki Roller Slide – Mr. Daps Goes to Japan
The next adventure that we went on in Japan was shorter, albeit exciting. It was a trip back to Kannonzaki, where we had previously seen the lighthouse. This time, however, we were going to another part of this fairly massive park. On this side of the park, my sister and the kids told me there was…
