Japan: Shinjuku & Ebisuko Sakababa 2012-11-24

After all the fun at Icho Namiki we headed over to Shinjuku for dinner and encountered this enthusiastic green fella. 

Welcome to Japan, friends.

Japan: Urayasu/Kasai bridge & Izakaya dinner 2012-11-08

I often found myself headed into Kasai, a neighborhood of Tokyo just across the bridge from Urayasu to go to the local offices of the company I worked for. It was about a 15-20 minute bike ride from where I lived, so nothing major, but it took me through an area of town that I didn't normally spend a particularly large amount of time in and I enjoyed the scenery. After taking care of some business at the offices, I had plans to meet with Kazu again for dinner at a small Izakaya near Urayasu station.
