Great photos, and I hope it's not snooping if we looked at some more of your flickr photos from Japan. We're traveling there in April, so it's fun to see some sights even if we won't be in the same places. Your photos of the cave shrine in Miyazaki are fantastic!

Maybe this was a thread where those moai were mentioned on TC before, since they were on the cover of the Roadside Japan book.

There's also this moai in Nagoya :down:, posted by finkdaddy on another thread.

I didn't find any real tiki places in Nagoya. But there was a really cool restaurant I found downtown (I'll post the name as soon as I remember it) that would have been a great tiki place if there had only been even one tiki. It was all dark lit with bamboo and jungle art everywhere. The food was fabulous Asian/Vietnamese and they had a pretty long cocktail list. I had some kind of passion fruit thing which was delicious but not very strong.

I did find this Moai at Nagoya Harbor:

I tried a Mai Tai at a place called Kitty's Garden (or something like that) at the harbor and I'm pretty sure it was just Bacardi and pineapple juice. Very uninspiring.

It was a great trip though, I can't wait to go again!
