After 34 hours we made it to our first destination. 6200 miles, 5 airports and a 2 hour car ride later wer made it to Amokusa, Japan in the Kumamot0 Prefecture (Prefectures are states in Japan like New York, Pennsylvania, etc.,). A long way to come but the country is beautifully spectacular. I never knew Japan was formed on a line of volcanoes, and the landscape is quite evident of this. We drove through at leasrt 60 tunnels in our trip from Kumamaoto to the Blue Fin Tuna farms in the sea of Japan in Amokusa. While there we went out on boats to the actual holding pens of Red Sea Bream (very popular in Japanese sushi) and Blue Fin Tuna (The highest quality and most exxpensive tuna in the world and not sustainable when caught in the wild so Wegmans doesn't carry this).
Pictures are difficult to load, but hopefully I'll have them up tomorrow. I'm 13 hours ahead of you whoevevr is reading this, and the internet works very slow to upload photos and videos but hopefuly I'll have some tomorrow.
