Arrived here a few days ago, arrived safe and enjoyed great hospitality from Mitsuru Tabata. Next morning headed out to Gunma prefecture to start my three day bike ride up into, over and down the mountains into Nagona prefecture. An amazing three days thanks to Kevin and Tomoe of onelifejapan. Hot baths, incessant climbing up to the top of a mountain or two or three... Woot, the law student studying in Tokyo from Texas came along for the ride as well.

Then back to Tokyo for the first show at Lush. Check out my show schedule for details about this show... but suffice to say I had a big ol smile on my face the entire show.

Today I will visit the Ghibli Museum, Electric Town in Akihabara and then on to Kyoto for further adventures.

Taking tons of pictures which I will likely post to flickr when I get back.
