Port Island

This is where I lived during my six months in Japan. On the island there is Portopialand (Amusement Park), Portopia Hotel, International Conference Centre, Kous Wholesaler, Daiei, Coffee Museum and lots more! I was in the 5th floor kitchen at the dorms when I experienced my first earthquake!
