Sex and Giant Snails

This past weekend we ventured to Atami, a beach town with killer-good seafood (as if it wasn't excellent enough everywhere else in Japan.) We visited Hihokan, the Atami Adult Museum (best review can be found right here,) which was incredibly educational. Curiously, the only way to get there is to take a gondola (or ropeway) up the mountain. Wonderful animatronics and miniature dioramas depicted both modern and historical scenes of copulation (or copulation-related activities.) Though sometimes it was a bit of a stretch of the imagination to determine exactly what was going on. We kept it classy though (mildly NSFW picture of Forrest.) Pictures were not allowed inside the museum, although I quietly snapped a few.
Real mature.
Then we went and did some real book-learnin' and brushed up on our Japanese literature. The Omiya and Kan-Ichi statue is a story essentially of a woman (pictured below) who leaves her man (pictured below) for another man, because the other man gave her a diamond. So he kicks her (pictured below.)
We're learning!
We also went to the Moa museum of art, but indoor photography was prohibited. And there was security. But here is some art we found outside.


The Giant Snails come from yet another crazy video that can be found on Ana's blog HERE. It's mostly about me, so you'll wanna check it out.
