Welcome to Japan 2006

About two years ago a group of friends in Hawaii came up with the idea of traveling to Japan together. We dreamed of sushi, sake and experiencing the "Soko ga" life. (More about "Soko ga" later.)

Since this plan originated late one night at our favorite bar over large quantities of alcohol, many of our friends doomed it to failure. No wives or families were consulted for approval and no thought was given to the cost of the trip. To make things even more challenging, our travel group that started out as a few friends soon exploded to fourteen people with three flying in from Oregon.

Two years later, eleven of us from Hawaii (three friends from Oregon arrived earlier) walked happily through the arrival gates of Narita airport into Tokyo Japan. So began the trip of a lifetime.

I decided to create this blog as a picture diary of our trip to Japan in November 2006. My goal is to eventually post pictures and comments for all of the activities we experienced during our trip in chronological order - Malcolm
