Best days ever! Let`s see my new traditional ryokan doesn`t discriminate against those with tattoos, I made the nicest new friends, saw the Nagoya Castle and spent 4 hours enjoying the top two divisions of sumo wrestlers! Once I figure out how to upload the sumo video - you`ll be the first to know!
Yipee!!!! My fantastic ryokan finally let me use the bath house despite my tattoos and it was sooo nice!!!

Retired top division sumo wrestler and now coach Onogawa Oyakata.
My number one fans! They kept coming over to speak Japanese to me . . . I have no idea what they said but they took their photo with me. LOL I also had the nicest group of ladies ask how I was enjoying Sumo and then proceed to buy me green tea!
If you know about my Crossfit gym`s burpee challenge, then my chin is now proof why you don`t do burpees on a slippery tile floor!
where are the pictures from inside the bath house? hehehe!
