Traveling- Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto

So i went to Tokyo withsome buddies from the lodge Ben and Sean, you may have seen them in some previous pictures. we had a great time. rented some bike for 2$ for 24 hours and hauled ass around like we owned the place. biked to the sumo tournament-awesome. some real fattys but they usually lost to the more nimble and disciplined. Stayed at a sweet hostel in tokyo-Kaosan original. met Megan at Narita 2 days later than planned and had some more fun. went shopping in tokyo, then went to Osaka and met up with a good friend Nick. stayed at his place and did some osaka night life. the next day went to kyoto to some temples and some more shopping. them came back to hakuba the next day.
