Hey, Tokyo

Last night, I arrived back in Japan for my fifth time! It’s my first time back since Star Wars Celebration in April 2025 and my first solo trip in Japan since May/June 2024. Oh, by the way, today’s my birthday! Come help me celebrate!

Catch me at some of the holiday markets, illumination spots and at the top of Shibuya Sky. Exact locations and times will be available in my Instagram stories, so be sure to follow!

If you know of fabulous holiday places to go see in Tokyo, let me know where else you think I should go!

Hey, Nara

Nara is the reason I’m in Japan for the holidays. When I decided to make a life-size version of the Holiday Edition Stormtrooper, my immediate thought was to come to Nara for pics with the deer! I’ve been to Japan with my original Stormtrooper uniform and then I came back for Star Wars Celebration with my Sakura Samurai Stormtrooper uniform. I knew I needed to come celebrate this new costume during the most appropriate time and place… Nara Park around Christmas!

Hey, Fukuoka

The holiday spirit spreads to Fukuoka! Starting it off around the Gundam Statue at LaLa Port and then moving to Mandarake, the FUKUOKA sign, Hakata Station, Canal City Hakata and finally Nakasu Food Stall Street!

I’m always open to other spots to visit in Fukuoka. Let me know where else you think I should go!

Hey, Osaka

2026 has come to an end just as this Japan trip is winding down! It’s time for one last outing and I’ve picked my favorite place to do it in… OSAKA! Let’s say goodbye to this passing year and wish each other great health and prosperity in the one approaching.

I plan on visiting teamLab Botanical, Shinsekai, Tsutenkaku and Pachimon Wars before finishing off the night between America-Mura, Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori!

Happy New Year!
