Touchdown at LAX. The end of an epic #Haneymūn with @arymes. You're amazing, Japan — your food, your alcohol, your abundance of peculiar (but delicious) snack items, your ridiculously large department stores and the massive food halls inside of them, your hotels, your temples, your language, your toilets, your laser robot battle restaurants, your preference for a 1940's big band jazz and 1990's R&B, your customs, your no tipping policy and your people. Can't wait to rip open the wasabi Kit Kats we brought home and pretend we're back in Tokyo. Arigatou gozaimasu! (at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX))

It took 3 men to make our Santuko and 1 to engrave it. This is that man. #LorberSAN #Haneymūn (at Tower Knives Osaka)

Dinner and a show with @arymes. #LorberSAN #Haneymūn #eeeeeats (at Ristorante 245 Gion)

Smoked eel + soft boiled quail egg = oishii! And sitting at a counter watching a chef and his sous cook Italian/Japanese food at a restaurant that seats 7 was pretty oishii too. #LorberSAN #Haneymūn #eeeeeats (at Ristorante 245 Gion)

Made it to Hakone but roads are closed for the Culture Day parade. Ramen for lunch ain't happening but chicken on a stick is. #LorberSAN #Haneymūn (at Hakone-Yumoto Station)

Great yakitori dinner in #PissAlley; a narrow alley of small bars and restaurants that butt up against each other. 10 people sit on stools knee to knee with no room to move, surrounding a counter where the chef grills all kinds of meat. When the chef found out it was our honeymoon he showered us in good luck candy, grilled clams and cold diced marinated chicken skin. It was like a scene out of Blade Runner. #LorberSAN #Haneymūn #vscocam (at Piss Alley, Shinjuku)
