Hello, and I hope everyone had a relaxing Memorial Day!
Check out these photos from our trip to Los Angeles and Las Vegas!
Our first stop was LA! This was my first time in LA, and we had a lot of fun! This trip was short and sweet to see family I haven’t seen in years (and meet some cousins I’d never met before!!!!), but I really wish I could have stayed for longer!
Rilakkumas in Hollywood, ready for their close up!
Koguma-chan joined in on the fun, too! Silver screen ready!
Rilakkumas at Urban Light! This installation in front of the LA County Museum of Art features 202 restored street lamps from the 1920’s and 30’s!
Unfortunately, didn’t get to check out any of the stores that stock Rilakkuma in LA because this was a short trip just to spend time with family, but next time I have the chance to go and more time, I will definitely make it a Rilakkuma-themed vacation!
It would be great to have an LA Rilakkuma fan meet-up as Melanie suggested in a previous post! I hear there’s even a Rilakkuma cafe there, too! When will Florida get more Rilakkuma??
After LA, we headed off to Las Vegas, my first time there, too!
Beautiful view at the Venetian! Such amazing art everywhere, felt like I was really in Venice hehehe.
Peeking through a Roman face at the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace! This is actually a chair on the other side :O
Relaxing at the stunning Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens! The current theme is Japanese Spring, making Rilakkuma feel right at home with these breathtaking floral displays!
Whoa there, Mr. Crane! (Don’t worry, the crane is made of flowers and no Rilakkumas were harmed in the making of this photograph!)
Spent most of our days eating all over the Strip, at places such as Bacchanal, Wicked Spoon, Bouchon, Gordon Ramsay Burger, China Poblano, and even the Taco Bell Cantina (the flagship Taco Bell with extended menu). No gambling for these bears!
This was such a unique experience, and I’m really fortunate that I had the chance to visit with my family. Hopefully, see you again soon, LA and Vegas ;)
What would your ideal Rilakkuma vacation look like? I’d want to eat at all the Rilakkuma cafes, there are so many open in Japan right now!

Rilakkuma in Europe! Time to elevate the art of the old west to the roundness that is bears.
Yes, maybe in France? Rilakkuma France has a nice Facebook presence: https://www.facebook.com/pg/RilakkumaFrance/
Or maybe Bern, Switzerland? Bern means bear and their coat of arms even has a big bear on it! :)
Just wondering, which Rilakkuma is that? It’s so flexible and great for photos. All the kumas I have are rather stiff, I’d love to know where to get one if possible
