My plan for the day was to venture to Odaiba\/Daiba, and to even make use of the AR function I was kindly nudged to use. I also desired to visit the real-world location of &#8216;Dangers in my Heart&#8217;, something I&#8217;ve actually visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically woke up at 7:30 AM. With how jetlagged I was I also woke up at 4 AM, 5 AM, and eventually at 7:30 AM, from 12 AM sleep. Felt highly under the weather from Cold\/Flu, catching up on Twitter\/X prior to leaving the hotel room. Even suggested to try out the AI mode for the area I was planning to visit later in the day (Dangers in my heart Anime AR collab). I left my hotel room at 9 AM. I slow-walked my way around Ueno as to not prematurely overly fatigue and destroy myself further, Flu &amp; jetlag already hindering me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Japan Trip 2024:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=7890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Day 1<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>My first proper day in Japan was fairly calm, if still suffering from the after-effects from my Cold\/Flu from the time. I was still sniffling, huffing &amp; puffing, and struggling to make my way around. Because of how I felt I tried to take it easy. No rushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pPErSA\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53704274810_e0526d0c1e_c.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot_20240128_085729_Chrome\" width=\"369\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Testing out the AR mode in my hotel room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pPCe9p\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53703841771_63338340fd_b.jpg\" alt=\"download\" width=\"540\" height=\"964\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pPxCQZ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53702945937_1809f891c7_c.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot_20240128_090211_Weather\" width=\"369\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; The weather for the day being reasonable. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pPDnBX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53704065393_cb96c7e4da_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240128_091043\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Ueno&#8217;s various ups and downs; Bridges &amp; tunnels.

I never felt a thing. Nothing. It was even noted via JR Train notice screens, something I assumed was further away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(<em>Scathach card? Unsure what this means, it&#8217;s something I however have to come back to and edit. I probably obtained a Scathach card, or seen it, or something. I&#8217;m confused.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pPDWQS\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53704177154_5cf1669089_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240128_215952\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Gradually going to sleep with a visually peaceful &#8216;TrainsJapan&#8217; admiration. Trains going from one area to the next. I genuinely 100% admire trains, especially of the Japan variety. Japan knows how to train. CHOO CHOO!~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m honestly thankful for the guidance and aid from various Japanese otaku\/Weeb\/hobby folks. They helped me out making my Japanese experience all that much better, more wholesome. I had a great time in Ueno, Daiba, Meguro, Senzoku, and even Akihabara. It was a fun train-filled photography session with AR of Azur Lane, Anime, and other fun stuff. Japan is awesome! Even if the magic has been lessened, I still admire Japan so much. As I&#8217;ve noted previously, I&#8217;ve also noted to my friend how Japan feels so much better than Ottawa (in Canada) with how vile and idiotic people in Ottawa tend to be. Japan felt like a second home, something I wish I could have actually made my home. Being able to travel around Tokyo was a blast. New experiences, and all the lovely beauty of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you again for having me, and I&#8217;m glad I have tons of memories. And yes, I&#8217;m aware, I should have ate more serious Japanese food. Then again, Konbini food is luxurious to a Canadian who doesn&#8217;t have a proper Konbini food supply in Ottawa thanks to political corruption. Japan is awesome! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,17],"tags":[197,188,186,235,234,187,230],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7993"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7993"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8001,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7993\/revisions\/8001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
