Woah. Ready?
Deep Breath, this may be quite a reach.
Hiked in Krabi, slept on beach.
Bye to JAlter, hi Bangkok,
High five Mitch, long airport walk.
Red-eye to Tokyo. Bullet train,
Soba noodles - like chow mein!
Sake drinks and 日本語 beer,
with a US rock-loving cashier.
Nearby ramen, snacks on snacks,
sleepy time, we can relax!
Wake up late, can't fit in shower -
Bamboo forest for an hour.
Monkey friends, then meet for tour.
Shrines and temples - our evils will cure.
[primates and gates]
End of the day puts us in the mood
For high quality Japanese fast food.
Next day we prep our layers,
time we hike and say some prayers.
Snowy mountain, hike to top,
then we eat at local shop.
Outside onsen*, relax a ton,
soothing baths for everyone.
This morning we woke up at a Ryokan - a traditional Japanese hotel, had very traditional breakfast, and after a failed attempt to tour a sake museum, we're on the bullet train back to Tokyo for the last leg of our trip.

*An onsen is a Japanese public bath - a mix of a mikvah and a spa.
