We ventured into Tokyo to take an origami class at the Tokyo Origami Museum. Did you know that origami techniques are used in the Japanese space program to deploy solar panels? . 🎏 During our walk to the museum, we found a neat little container pond. I was also amused by the cigarette machine casually located on the street. 🚬 . . . . . . . . . . #nipponorigamiassociation #onthestreetsoftokyo #visitjapan #biginjapan #traveltokyo #exploretokyo #discovertokyo #landoftherisingsun #igjapan #3Zimmigos

We hung out in Yokohama for a few days and checked out some of the popular sites. We didn't get to see everything we wanted to but had a great time nonetheless. . 🎏 Cosmo Clock 21 - was the world's tallest ferris wheel when it first opened in 1989. 🎡 . 🎏 Unko Museum - dedicated to all things poop. 💩 . 🎏 View from the Yokohama Landmark Tower Sky Garden. At night, you can see the Cosmo Clock light show. During the day, if it's clear, you can see Mt. Fuji. 🗻 . 🎏 Shin Yokohama Ramen Museum - actually, more a food hall than a museum. It had a small display giving the history of ramen in Japan. The best part was the food court, designed to represent 1958 Tokyo when instant ramen was invented. There were a dozen famous ramen shops to choose from. So many choices, such small stomachs. 🍜 . 🎏 No visit to Yokohama is complete unless you visit the CupNoodle Museum. Momofuku Ando invented instant noodles in 1958. The museum showcases innovation and also allows you to customize your own cup noodle. 🐥 . . . . . . . . . . #minatomorai #unko #cosmoclock21 #yokohamalandmarktower #ramenmuseum #cupnoodlesmuseum #visitjapan #3Zimmigos

Kawaii overload! We had the most amazing day exploring Harajuku. Y'all, we got to hold owls! 🦉Talk about an experience! In case you were wondering, owls are suprisingly soft. We then explored Takeshita Street where we were enticed by the cotton candy. Next on to Mooosh Squishy which was filled with scented stress balls shaped like cute animals and food. It smelled like peaches in there. 🍑 We ended up at Kawaii Monster Cafe and I don't even know how to describe what we saw. Adele kept exclaiming that it was the most amazing restaurant she had ever been to! The whole day was rainbows and unicorns and who doesn't like that! 🌈🦄 . . . . . . . . . . . #kawaii #harajuku #owlvillage #takeshitastreet #rainbowsweetsharajuku #squishys #kawaiimonstercafe #visitjapan #exploretokyo #landoftherisingsun #igjapan #3Zimmigos

Day two of keeping it low key and local. One of today's highlights was the ribeye and filet steak dinners we ordered at the mall food court. Trying to figure out the Japanese menu and communicate with the cashier was comical. Craig is finally putting his college Japanese to good use! Everyone we've encountered has been so good natured and helpful with the clueless Americans! 🤣 . . . . . . . . . . #kawaguchi #americansinjapan #visitjapan #biginjapan #landoftherisingsun #3Zimmigos

Jet lag is no joke so we spent our first day in Japan exploring the neighborhood. We're staying outside Tokyo and we enjoyed walking around pretending we were locals. We had a terrific sushi lunch, stopped in an electronics store where we were amazed to see blank cassettes, picked up some groceries, and found a playground . . . . . . . . . . . . . #kawaguchi #visitjapan #landoftherisingsun #biginjapan #3Zimmigos

Aloha Hawaii, until we meet again . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #alohaoe #mahalohawaii #alohastateofmind #wheretonext #tokyoherewecome #3Zimmigos
