Also, here I am getting my Peach Coke, which I actually thought was super delish and wish they sold here. I also appreciate the grenade bottles, as 20 oz of soda is too much for my old ass.

One of the main reasons we stopped in Nagoya was so I could go to the JR SCMaglev and railway Park Museum, because I. Just. Love. Trains.And, I def went hog wild. If you don't know the Shinkansen (aka "bullet train") is the high-speed train that connects most of Honshu and Kyushu.Clockwise from top left: (1) various Shinkansen models; (2) original "model 0" Shinkansen from 1964; (3) future Maglev train; (4) previous experimental 300 series Shinkansen; (5) older commuter trains.

Here are some more snaps. You will absolutely get super jealous at Japanese travel infrastructure. Every major city has a subway. Every major city on Honshu and Kyushu is connected by the Shinkansen. From every Shinkansen stop, numerous outlying cities are connected by ordinary, extremely good and efficient, commuter rail.People actually get pissed if the train leaves one minute early or is more than one minute late. I shit you not. It is amazing.

After I blew my load at the Rail Museum, we visited Inuyama Castle in, appropriately, Inuyama (Dog Mountain). It is the oldest surviving "original" Japanese castle 🏯, built in 1537. The other pictures are views from the castle, including a view of Castle Town, one of many food promenades to be found in Japan.

Americans love to talk about Japanese vending machines. Honestly, I haven't seen anything vended that's particularly strange. But the vending machine game for standard stuff is very much on point.Hot and cold drinks are vended basically everywhere, with a ton of options.Emily and I like to play a game of trying to find the most unique Boss Coffee we can find. The "Pride of Boss" 25th anniversary coffee was probably the most unique we have found.

@Mosie agreed, probably a pretty widespread belief, I'd imagine. I'm thinking pre-WWII views of the Japanese by the US
