Capcom SF6 Real Battle Hub in Laguna Ten Bosch
Back in March during my son’s Spring Break, we took a trip together from Tokyo to Nagoya to visit Capcom’s “Real Battle Hub” setup in Laguna Ten Bosch. It’s setup in Laguna Ten Bosch, an amusement park near Gamagori in Aichi Ken. Most ways to get there will have you take a Shinkansen to Nagoya […]

Father and son trip to Nagoya
During Alan’s Spring Break, I decided that the two of us should go to Nagoya. I was interested in going there because Capcom set up a “Real Battle Hub” like the Street Fighter 6 game at an Amusement park there, and since I needed to take some time off because he was out of school, […]

We’ve been in the pandemic, working from home, since February 2020. We went once to a cabin in 2020 September, out in Nasu, which was nice. We haven’t had a chance to get vaccinated yet, and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics held in 2021 during a pandemic when Japan has about 12.5% of the population vaccinated, […]

Weekend trip to Nasu
We usually go to America in the summer for a month or three, but this year due to Corona Virus we didn’t go. So we spent a bit of time thinking about safe vacations, and settled on renting a cabin in Nasu, a vacation spot about a three hours drive from Tokyo. A friend of […]

“Camping” at the deepest underground station in Japan: Doai
2020-02-29 We took the Tanigawa Max Shinkansen from Tokyo to Jyomokougen (上毛高原). The trip was about an hour from Tokyo station. Our seats were on the second floor of the Tanigawa Max Shinkansen. I don’t think they are making more of the two story trains, so getting to ride one is pretty nice. The station […]

Alan’s 6th Birthday
Today, 2017-12-16, is Alan’s sixth birthday. This year, instead of getting lots of presents, Lisa’s planned a nice trip for him. Since Alan really loves trains (what six year old in Japan doesn’t?) this trip is a train-focused trip. His birthday conveniently fell on a Saturday, so we were able to take an overnight trip […]

2017.11 Trip to Korea
When we were visiting New York over the summer, I met with lots of friends. While we were having dinner with Lena, a good friend of mine from grad school, she mentioned that she and her family would be going to Korea in November for a kind of Thanksgiving. Since Korea is so close to […]
