6yo says he has a friend in his 1st grade class named “ほら!” & I’m like 99% sure that’s not rly his name but I can’t say anything cuz last week he said he played with a classmate named Komachi and I was like “that’s not a person it’s a train” but then I met こまちちゃん😳

O my dear gaijin children, get thee to Kameido at once. Hurry up please it is time.

I was just at Kameido Tenjin & this older, visually impaired woman was being led around by her husband & he’d move her hands up to the fuji & hold it to her nose so she could experience it too and I just followed them around like a lost puppy for a bit cuz I loved them so much🥹

Just quietly filing this in with 室外機s I’d hang out with…

Torii Tuesday? Taco Tuesday? Triceratops Tuesday??
NO, it’s Tanuki Tuesday!!!

Hey Kaitlyn Ugoretz @kaitlynugoretz.bsky.social I’ve assembled 4 u this troop of Torii in order to take back Tuesdays from those tenacious tanukis at Japan Trail Cam. Just let me know when to dispatch them 🙃 #alliteration

Recently an older woman I’m sento friends with asked me to tell some white ppl not 2 bring in their big ass towels but I was like “they’re not 英語 ppl so I can’t just 英語” & she looked at me like I was crazy & said “Yes you can!” And now I no longer know who or what 2 believe.

This is a photograph of me.

Japan, I spend so much time reminding all the fetishists and orientalists that you are really just full of normal people living everyday lives, but then you go and do this.

9yo was just being tired and obnoxious on the train and forcibly squeezed his butt into a tiny half-empty seat and in doing so shoved over this young guy with bleach blond hair and a face tattoo. Face tattoo guy then got up and tried to give me his seat but I wouldn’t let him 🥹

These Wisteria trees are actually little old ladies on crutches with thousands of fascinating stories to tell. You know I’m right.

Ashikaga Flower Park is a bit pricey and kinda crowded right now. Go anyway!!!

Life imitates Monet.

This morning I learned that if you want the empty train out of Ueno toward Utsunomiya, it’s gotta be the 8:51 👌

I think he put his shirt on backwards 🎶
