My wife really isn’t appreciating me walking out of Japanese toilets after using their cleaning jets adopting a Gollum stance and voice and proclaiming the ring is clean, my precious.

🤞 I’ve set the Japanese washing machine off correctly. If so it’ll be finished by the time my wife wakes up and we can head out early (ish).
Just about spotted this place and the 10.5% belgian ale is bob on.
A few from Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. Crikey charlie, it proper chucked it down on the island. A poncho is a wondrous item. We’re off to Osaka tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure Reuben Dias has been here a few times. Miyajima Island. I’ve done well so far in not finding out who won Celebrity Traitors.
They don’t exactly ease you in at Hiroshima. We walked in at the middle of a video with an older chap recalling the night. Telling us how difficult it is to cremate your own sister and the head took all night to burn fully.
Japanese denim slippers for around the hotel. This is in addition to the slippers for the room and the slippers for the toilet.
I enjoyed this beer so much yesterday that I’m tempted to try a Matcha today. I’ve stayed clear of that bandwagon loads have jumped on over the last few years.
I’m retiring early…I mean going to bed by half ten. After 45k steps and a few quality ales. This is a pose I learnt from Japanese girls.
Proper Beer Poncing with an 8% brew from a local micro brewery in our Ryokan in Kyoto.
Surprisingly I didn’t choose it for the can art. One of just 2 beers I had on a Saturday (before getting back to the room).
Limited photos today. Surprisingly Shibuya Crossing is just a lot of people crossing the road. You see more coming out of football stadiums all the time. Shinjuku is just people hammering their credit cards in goods called luxury (but not necessarily quality). I still love the place though.
I’m off here niw. Any chance I can avoid Celeb Traitors until I get home?
When you’re looking to shelter from the rain and find a nanobrewery with really good ales. Then stumble across a self barbeque steak restaurant. Currently back at the room drinking craft lager (not bad) and fried squid strips (excellent). What will tomorrow bring!
Train snacks. Apologies, no pics of the fish tempura as this train rocks. We’re off to Nikko to see the autumn foliage.
Dinner was excellent but I had a close call with my tea and almost chose fish sperm sacs. I rather boringly went for pork ramen.
Currently feeling very Father Ted stood in the ladies underwear section (outside the womens changing room) in Uniqlo.
We’re at that stage of holiday where I’m awake too early but my wife will sleep forever unless I wake her. We normally go somewhere hot with a balcony but I’m stuck inside and can’t get my Sky to work on my phone. No shops or bars open where we’re staying either.
I forgot to mention earlier being violated when pressing a button on the toilet. I’m like Gollum talking about how pretty my ring is now.
It’s been a long 27 hours since our flight from London. A day of strolling around so having a quick couple of beers in the room so we’re fresh(er) tomorrow. Yes, I’m old.
Current status: celebrating an extra 5 minute delay that pumps my delay repay from 25 to 50%.
I bloody love this country. To be fair a pretty cheap ticket to London and a relative fast journey, or at least that was the plan. The first train delayed but no worries as the train we’re due to catch is delayed too. Time to grab those reserved seats…apart from the fact it’s heaving and no room.
