Both pics were taken in Tokyo, Japan:
Taken at the Owakudani Valley--which emits the smell of fizzing sulfur from miles away. Richard mentioned the place smells like rotten eggs, but it's a great tourist spot because it allows people to hop on a cable car back down to Lake Ashi. In the background, Mt. Fuji.
Todai-Ji temple located in Nara, Japan. Houses one of the largest bronze Buddhas in the world. As well as serves as the Japanese HQ of the Kegon school of Buddhism. Gnarly stuff!
For those of you seeking the items that Richard is wearing, unfortunately we are all sold out with the exception of the HAT that he's sporting. And, even this item is sold out in the smallest size -- which is 7 1/4. Sorry folks!
