This year’s vote for the most pitiful amusement park in Japan, on the top of Ikoma mountain.

Yomiuri Television’s massive broadcast tower located in the middle of the amusement park can be seen from miles around. I could just feel my sperm wilting like poisoned tadpoles.

I slept next to this motorized cat doll, which would periodically mewl and walk in circles while its eyes lit up red. Or maybe it was all just a bad dream.

The filters on my new phonecam are sparse, but this one works pretty well.

In Japan, they often use these life-sized plastic highway worker effigies to direct motorists around road crews where a simple light would suffice. I always feel like abducting these insane dolls when I see them, maybe drag them behind my car for a few kilos then let them smash into a toll booth – after all, it is our tolls that are paying for this crap.

Parking area in Iga, infamous ninja country. FYI, they don’t sell real ninja weapons in the gift shop.

Just me, or is it a bit tacky?

I may have blogged about this sign in front of a Amemura love hotel before, but I can’t be bothered to check if it was on the old Yapeus site or on this one. Oh, well. Always worth a quick guffaw.

This is the shop that caused the Great Eggtart Craze of 2002, located between Nanpabashi and Midosuji. We bought an 8-pack for 15 bucks with the intention of taking them on our Nagoya road trip, but forgot them in Merin’s refrigerator. Nam tried one the week after and got the runs, so the rest were trashed. Damn.

I looked around the building’s parking garage for a fleet of lowered Impalas – no luck.
