Japan Extreme Sports, Me, Skiing No Comments
Day two of the extreme sports tour was back to Saitama, but this time to Saitama-Air, to do some water ramping. For people who don’t know, water ramping is skiing down a slope that is covered in a special plastic surface, hitting a big jump and landing in a swimming pool. Lot’s of fun!

Japan Extreme Sports, Me No Comments
On Wednesday Jeff and I went to trampoline gym in Saitama, about and hour and half drive from Tokyo. Jeff had been there before, but it was my first time. We had a lot of fun jumping on the trampolines and working on our ski tricks. We decided that it would be the start of a three day extreme sports tour.

Japan, Tokyo Crowds, Train, Train Station No Comments
I was going to take a train at the Akihabara Station, but there was some kind of delays with the train line, so there were huge crowds of people waiting to get on the few train that were coming through.

Japan, Tokyo Sleeping, Train 1 Comment
Trains in Japan stop running around midnight, so if you happen to take one of the first trains in the morning it’s pretty common to people staggering home after spending all night out. Occasionally you’ll see someone who’s made it onto the train and immediately fallen asleep. What makes this photo extra interesting is that it was taken in the middle of the afternoon. I’m not sure if this guy got on the train in the morning and has been sleeping there ever since or if he just recently fell asleep. Or possibly he’s died.

One of the regular sights of Yoyogi Park on the weekends are the Rockabillies. Every time I’ve been to Yoyogi the Rockabillies are there rockin’ out.

Yoyogi Park is a huge park in Tokyo, located between Shibuya and Shinjuku. Every weekend the park is packed with people out enjoying the weather.
Throughout the park there well be little groups of people that meet up to do activities together. Pretty much any activity you can thing of, no matter how strange, there well be a little group doing it.
