Last day in Japan... for now

It’s called “Nichiren in Exile” on fuji arts but “Swirling Snow (Tomoe no yuki)” on the public sources

Visited Mokuhankan to see their prints and meet Dave

Went to a second location and tried that, but also tapped out. :(

Ikebukoro to check out Animate. Supposedly huge collection of anime BD/DVD and Manga, but it felt like it was 90% merchandise. I guess I’m a boomer for wanting physical media?

Ikebukoro station near the stairs to platform 1. 😀 female toilet accidentally closer than male

Back to Shinjuku to visit the massive Yodobashi campus. Turns out the luggage section was … fairly meh? Especially after getting a bit turned around in S station, and stuck behind SO MANY PEOPLE JUST BLOCKING THE PATH OH FFS JUST CLEAR A LANE¿!

I was looking for a carry on bag to take my souvenir valuables home and ended up at BIC camera anyway. Tax (10%) off then another 5% for using my VISA was… curious but handy :)

Back to the hotel because I’m so very done by this point and need to do washing. I honestly can’t tell if I smell, but I know I FEEL horrible all over.

1000¥ later plus another cycle to dry out my unmentionables since they stayed wet in the bag, and it’s off to find some random supermarket supplies.

Coco Ichiban for dinner, because I hadn’t had … just a curry while I was here. Was good.

“Escape the fire by putting a plastic bag over your head” is such a vibe. Hotel TV comes on automatically here so I get some random menu videos

“It’s not fireproof so it’ll melt on your face, be careful”
