July 12th // Universal Studios Japan & Kyocera Dome (Sports)

Universal Studios Japan

Universal Studios Japan

We went to Universal Studios. We had a lot of fun with the dinosaurs at Jurassic park. They made it seem so real, as if we were gazing back in time. The park has been open for 16 years and is now owned by Universal. They've really done a good job with the place. Since it opened in 2001, they've added New York, Hollywood, San Francisco, Jurassic Park, Minion Park, Universal Wonderland, Water World, and Amity Park. 

We decided to go to Water World first because we figured we could dry off on all the roller coasters later. Tristen spent most of his time in the hot tub, Nolan sat on the side watching saying that he would rather not get wet, Malachi went and jumped off the platform showing off in front of all the girls, and I spent my time in the wave pool moving with the tide. After we finished up, we left Universal Studios.

Kyocera Dome

After that we went to the Kyocera Dome and watch the Orix Buffaloes practice before their game, and it was really fun and exciting. The dome was first opened in 1997. The name Orix Buffaloes are the result of a merger between the Kintetsu Buffaloes and Orix Blue Wave. 

The stadium has an appearance of a large spacecraft, which dominates the area where it is located. It is amazing, as this giant saucer sparkles due to its metal coating. The Kyocera Dome has a covered roof and has also hosted events, such as concerts. Many celebrities have already played here, from The Rolling Stones to Madonna.

After visiting Kyocera Dome we returned to the hotel where we relaxed and did our own thing. Rohan was working, Malachi was laughing at jokes on social media, Tristen was worrying about fantasy football, Nolan was sleeping, and I watched TV. To conclude this blog post all I have to say is, this was a good day.
