I take a trip to the mountians outside Tokyo for a one day escape from urban life. It was nice to get out of the city, however brief. I got back in touch with the non-metrosexual manside by grilling meat over hot coals and having a warm schvitz. I wish I could do this every weekend, but sadly life in Tokyo is mostly working for the man. For those curious about costs and such: Log Cabin: 5,000 yen (Per person, cabin sizes range from one person to groups of 6) Bar-b-que Rental: 2,000 yen (including charcoal) Train ticket: 2,600 yen one way (depends on which train though) Bus: 620 yen one way Onsen: 500 yen Groceries: 3,000 yen Charring meat: Priceless English Ok. Pets Ok. But you must return the cabin to the state you found it in. I highly recommend this for families, especially if you can drive. Using public transport was a bit of a pain in the ass, and limits your options if you are staying for more than one night. ***Also, just a reminder I'll be broadcasting live on BlogTV Wed and Thursday at around 11am Tokyo Time. My guest on Thursday will be Mike from the K-1 kickboxing video. He is back in town for work and will stop by to discuss readjusting to his new life Los Angeles after 20 years living in Tokyo. Should be a really fun time. Check out the webpage for info, and a time countdown to when the broadcast airs in your neck of the woods if you are confused by time zones. http://blogtv.com/people/tokyocooney Seriously... check it out. Music: "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" - Flat & Scruggs "Gotta Travel On" - Billy Grammer "Overland Blues" - The Yoshida Brothers "Bloody Mary Morning" - Willie Nelson

May 28, 2009 - i wanted to see more meat grilling...needed to see something that at least satisfied my manside. To quench this feeling of unsatisfaction: tomorrow = bbq!

Aug 7, 2009 - usualy all you have to do is take off 2 zero and it's pretty close so for 2000 yen is about 20$, usualy a little more then 20.
