June 13th- Free day
Today was our first free day in Kyoto. I had planned plenty of things to do today, and I'm glad I was able to do most of them. I decided to head to Osaka again to hit some places in this amazing city. I began my journey at Osaka Castle. This castle was an important shogunate site that withstood many battles and changes in power. Inside the castle, there were many artifacts as well as war history exhibits. At the top, there was an amazing 360-degree view of Osaka. After the many flights of stairs to get down, I began to make my way over to my next stop. The Osaka Aquarium. This Aquarium is world famous for having not 1 but 2 whale sharks in their Pacific Ocean exhibit. This aquarium had an excellent setup and flow. You began in native Japanese water exhibits, with Monterey bay and Icelandic exhibits, then the rest of the exhibits went in a circle around this huge Pacific Ocean tank. Massive grouper, all kinds of sharks, stingrays, manta rays, the whole deal. Along the way, I saw dolphins, seals, sea lions, and many more cute and playful aquatic creatures. I saw a king crab for the first time and my gosh they look like aliens or something. It then takes you down to the deep sea area with jellyfish and bioluminescent sea cucumbers. Finally, you get to the Arctic section with penguins and ice-cold water fish. Easily the most impressive aquarium I've seen, and the competition is fierce. I worked my way out of the bay area to go to see Tsutenkaku Tower, a radio tower that is basically Osaka's Tokyo Tower, as well as do some merchandise shopping in Den Den town. I was impressed with Den Den town, much more than Akiharaba. They had more cool stuff instead of cute stuff, and none of the stores felt questionable like in Akiba. I landed a rare cowboy bebop figure and went to my last stop. I walked for about 50 minutes through neighborhoods and markets to get to a place named UpGarage. You know how much I love cars, so I relish in part shopping even though Japan doesn't even have a single part for my car. Up Garage was special, and I really loved the gig they had there. Up Garage is a used performance parts store that sells items like rims, suspension, exhaust, and even body parts for cars. I was blown away at the markdowns here. Fully functional coil-over sets, just dirty but otherwise in perfect working order, from 200-400 dollars. Just wow. Coilovers brand new in America goes for 1000+ easy, very easy. The main issue I have with car customization and racing is just how much money the sport costs. But here, if you're not going for looks, but for real performance and gains, you can slice the price of your racing-bred machine in half. I don't think people realize how insane that really is. I found gauges for the Japanese counterpart of my car for 4 dollars, 4 smackeroos. That's like 2 single cheeseburgers at Mcdonald's for a 100-dollar part used on eBay. It made me really want to move to Japan for a year or two just to get a car cheap, clap it out for cheap, and race these stunning mountain roads just to send her back to America when I'm done. Gosh, I need to get my degree and marbles together so I can live that dream while I'm young. I ate gyoza at some hole-in-the-wall restaurant and the waitress there spoke perfect English which was nice. I ordered some thin beef thing over some sushi rice and they actually came out with a torched and cooked it. After my meal, I went back on the train and got ready to crash for tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll definitely take it easy, after that hike, I'm 100% going to nap. Great day today, a great city, and great interactions. That is the Japanese experience.

Can't believe how fast these got here. Got here from Japan in less than a week! Got a pair of Watanabe F8 wheels. Putting these on the back of the Silvia and moving the current rears to the front. New setup will be 15x6.5 +19.5 up front and 15x7 +15 rear. #watanabe #watanabewheels #upgarage https://www.instagram.com/p/B3qHxnggBdd/?igshid=65lll6g34cen
