    Lots of places within easy reach of each other.

     

    80 mins by Shinkansen from Tokyo and 2 hours or so by car.

     

    There's always the resorts in Minakami as well not as far out, but they really need a car to get round:

  2. A coffee fan from Texas has spent more than $100,000 visiting 11,733 Starbucks across six different continents, although he admits he wouldn’t recommend the coffee.

     

    Winter, who has legally changed his name from Rafael Lozano, came up with the idea while sitting at a Starbucks in Plano, Texas, in 1997.

     

    "My original motive was simply to accomplish something unique. However, since that time, I have discovered many joys in the traveling, the photography and the puzzle-like challenge of my mission," he states on his website.

     

    But while he’s enjoyed the experience, he prefers to visit independent outlets in his downtime. "I respect Starbucks for its business sense, customer service and amenities including clean bathrooms and WiFi," he told The Telegraph. "But unless I am checking a new store off my list, I would not go there for the coffee."
