HNL Kawaii Con 2026 (Day 2 & 3) and Spam Jam 2026

Leon and Ashley

Aloha Folks, Got to finally check out a Kawaii Con. Very nice experience but I'll let the pics do the talking for the most part.

Kawaii Con 2026 (Day 2) 4/25/26

Got to see the exhibits and bought a couple toy guns and a Kunai. There was an auction event and a lightsaber exhibition where they teach you the arts and mastery of lightsaber combat. Was really nuts. Lots of people dressed up. Even the Chik-Fil-A across the street was packed.

Spam Jam 2026 4/25/26

A 10-15 minutes walk from the convention center. Was pretty packed as well though I felt last years event was better. Tried Da Bald Guys. It was ok. Tender Kalbi but wasn't my cup of tea.

Kawaii Con 2026 Day 3 (Final) 4/26/2026

Got to see the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra at play. It was also their first time playing. It probably won't be their last. They were great! Video game exhibit and got to see vendors again. Didn't buy anything this time around. And got to get a pic of a couple playing Leon Kennedy and Ashley Graham from Resident Evil/Biohazard 4 fame. Thank you Jesus for a good two days. And thank you for all those who allowed us to take pictures and those who made this Kawaii-Con and amazing experience. Laters.

Sapporo, Japan Feb 2025 (Pic Heavy)

Early February trip to Japan. Feb 2 (Hawaii time) Flight from HNL to New Chitose Food from ANA airlines. Was not a direct flight. One layover. Then a one hr train ride to Sapporo from New Chitose Airport. Landed around 1030PM at night. (Each day categories pics start from bottom to top, sorry didn't feel like fixing this). Feb 3 ( Sapporo) (Will be Japan dates from this moment forward) The famous Nikka sign and pretty much a midnight snack before bed. According to google, the restaurant is called Asahi Ga Nobori Susukino and its right across the Nikka sign and has a animatronic ramen display. It's a good restaurant that features a staple of Sapporo: Miso. One of the few places that is open to a much later time. I think 3AM? Feb 4 Nijo Market Yup. Hawaii. Nijo Market. Brunch pretty much at Ohiso . Gets packed quick so find a spot to catch your grub quickly. Lots of similar restaurants around here like Ohiso but like I sai...

Hawaii Foodiecon 2025 and Yakiniku Like.

Yakiniku Like Foodiecon was a enjoyable experience. Quite a bit of food vendors. It can be fairly expensive depending on the stuff you buy. Got to try Yakiniku Like over here in HNL. Brings me back to Sapporo which was actually only two months ago. Once again, good if you want a quick meal but if you hoping to be fulfilled, you may want to check into a Yakiniku buffet instead.

Osaka (Dotombori, Nara, Universal Studios Japan etc...) 100th post for this blog!

Return to Osaka! It's been 4 years and it was nice to be back. My 100th post for this blog as well! Dotombori Back to Namba Oriental Hotel. Got a fairly decent room for 3. Also did a Pig cafe, The Pigs kept coming to me for sleep. They were probably tired all day. It was roughly 1830PM by then. Nara Even the Deers here wait for the bus. J/k. They always hungry so feed them the crackers you can purchase from the vendors on the streets. We didn't do temples this time. You can say we came here for a few hours to feed the deers and that was it. Back to Dotombori I've always wanted to visit the Capcom store. Sadly, the displays are the most impressive thing about the Osaka store. You get to play Street Fighter 6 on the big screen but everything in the store is pretty lackluster. The Capcom store and it's superhero neighbors are in the Parco store btw. Universal Studios Japan Pretty much came here for Super Nintendo World (ser...
