Niigata bound

Duration: 2 hours

Osake-ometer: 1

So, full disclosure, the osake-ometer aka お酒-ometer reset on landing. Still, nothing beats train beer, and the train beer was goood.

Yes, so bored witless folks that reading this blog seems like a good idea, I'm 日本 side! Rising suns are... well... setting as I type this, but it's great to be on the archipeligo for the second time (that's 二回 for those keeping track).

I have in my hot little possession a JR Pass, an unlimited rail travel pass good for two weeks of 'sploring this strange land.

The plan is simple: drink, see stuff, drink, do stuff, drink, buy stuff, drink, eat stuff and, if time permits, drink stuff. Solid plan; what could go wrong?

So I'll be blogging and instagramming my way around for the next 11 days. I hope to be coherent, cogent and upright enough to post daily - uploads may be free wifi dependent, but 頑張ります(I'll try). Please lemme know if there is anything you want to know or see and I'll do my best to accomodate the request.

The broad itinerary is:

新潟 (Niigata) for 4 days
京都 / 大阪 (Kyoto / Osaka) for 4 days
東京 (Tokyo) for 3 days.

And to finish this inaugural post, you know beer is at it's absolute best when a brewer "...elaborates the "nodogashi"".

じゃまた
Until next time!
