Hello again everyone!
These are also pictures from Izu, day 2. The was one of the most entertaining museums I've ever been to. It was fully of random weird stuff. The picture above is the mascot?symbol? of the museum. As you can see it is a penguin with the head of what looks like the phantom of the opera.
This museum was full of random toys and figures. This particular one seems to be operating on himself.
One section of the museum was dedicated to traditional Japanese horror stories. Here's a room that i assume the monsters have torn apart. And also a two headed calf...
This is a creepy cat.
A woman with no face.
Behind her is a cyclops.
They also had an umbrella with and eye and a foot.
They also had random shrines in the museum. One was a shrines to foxes, one was a shrine to paper dolls, and one was a shrine to poop.
No comment.
This guy was on the second story of the museum. It looked like he was just looking down on stuff at the museum.
But he wasn't.
Some more random toys and....
These. Which are actually for sale. The ones below are also for sale (and no I didn't buy any).
What an interesting museum!
I have also provided some engrish for you to mull over.
Hope you liked the pictures. More will come soon.

Izu part one
Hi everyone,
For Golden Week me and some friends decided to go to Izu. It is about three hours away from Tokyo by train (if you don't get lost) and we stayed for three days and two nights. I'm going to post my pictures from the trip in the three different posts. This first post is mostly pictures of the Teddy bear museum. We also walked to the coast where I got this great shot of the ocean. Izu is so pretty even amateur photographers like me can get a great shot.
The teddy bear museum was really...interesting. It wasn't as cutesy as I thought it would be. Many of the pictures speak for themselves.
This giant bear guards the entrance to the museum. He talks and moves too.
The teddy bear museum was two stories high. The first floor is full of teddy bears and the second one is dedicated to the movie "My neighbor Totoro"
Ahhhh! He's eating me!
not sure what they are supposed to bedoing here, but I can certainly imagine.
Bears, sewing other bears...or operating on them?
Corona, the preferred beer of bears.
I also spotted these in the museum...bears? I think not.
These next two pictures you must see for yourselves.
As for next time, get ready for THE BEST MUSEUM EVER! and some more pretty pictures of the Izu landscape.
