Interesting view,

At first look I see lots of wood, thought it was inside a sailboat keel but the Kerfing strips(?) gave it away.

Can you show us the outside of the Guitar now?

Would you say the 86/BRZ is as smooth as the 21 year old?

One of my favorite photos that I have ever taken, from Mori Tower in Roppongi, Tokyo:




Also from Mori Tower's observatory deck coffee shop. I'm not really that great with object photography, but liked the lighting and the coffee filtering from above:



The coffee thing was pretty sweet. You pay a 500 yen coin for a "gacha" (little toy in a hollow ball usually), and inside that capsule there's a specific coffee bean out of the 5 or so available, and then they have a few stations where you go through the steps of getting the beans, grinding them, and brewing the coffee. Sadly I'm not great at multitasking so I didn't really snap fancy photos of the whole process, only this step haha.

From what I have gathered from the 'net is that there are many places to see Mount Fuji but best of luck with the weather cooperating.

Yeah, but you can definitely have nice days!

Example photo taken from Owakudani early last year on the same trip:

I have our itinerary all planned (which regularly gets modified) for our next trip to Japan but who knows when that will actually be?

Haven't quite explained this to the wife yet.
