Early morning #rollercoasters at #NagashimaSuperLand

Took this photo right around the sunrise from the highway when I went back to see my family. I see this scenery every time on my way to the airport on the very last day of my stay in Japan.
Very nostalgic, always.

Japan No.30
Sleeping box of #Yumoriza ,public bath and spa, in #Yokkaichi
These boxes are above the tatami area.
You can climb up the ladder and roll into the box to take a nap, read manga, or quietly chat with friends. It is fun 😌

Back view of #Tsutenkaku #Tower 
in #Osaka , #Japan

The front view, the previous post, has an ad on the tower that says “Social innovation Hitachi”
And this back of the tower has a writing of “Tsutenkaku” that is the name of the town where the tower is located.

Japan No.37

#UniversalStudiosJapan

Visited last summer.
I would say about one third of the park is localized so it’s a bit different from the original Universal Studios in US.
Lots of fun for #anime geeks(=my girls)

Naughty smile #Biriken in #Tsutenkaku
#Osaka #Japan

Biriken-san is god of good luck and he’s widely seen in Osaka as a symbol of successful business.

I read the article about the history of Biriken and it’s origin is Billiken in US, from Kansas City, I believe.
