Obon
This is a top pick! ... and on and us dancing around in a circle to the set moves of the dance. One of the most beautiful moments I have had in Japan. Kyoto itself is only about an hour out of Osaka on an express train and so since it's a pretty traditional Japanese area ...
A day with Keigo
This is a top pick! Our video of Hiroshima can be found on the Contents page (entry #1). At the top of the page, click on 'more thumbnails' to see all the videos. For the first time in what feels like weeks, we are able to sleep in, undisturbed by bus schedules, ...
Sumo Wrestling!!!
This is a top pick! Today we did another walking tour of the city and it was the three of us in all of our towering glory. We hit up the imperial palace where people were asking to take our picture left and right. We ventured through ginza again and then made a ...
Peace
This is a top pick! Visit to Hiroshima with Mum and Dad. Each member of my (immediate) family except Pete has rung the peace bell so Dad made sure I did too! While in Hiroshima we also visited Mijiyama, one of Japans top three beautiful sights to see. A Tori floating ...
Turning Japanese
This is a top pick! ... our hotel is another mission, despite having directions for that too. By my non-scientific reckoning, street numbering in Japan works as follows. The city is divided into many little areas, further divided into cubes comprising about 25 ...
Time capsule
This is a top pick! The Imperial Palace repelled our advances yesterday by being closed, so we try again today, getting there by subway to rest our bruised tailbones. It is fairly nice in spots but not quite as spectacular as I'd hoped. In fact, you can't ...
Having a blast in Hiroshima
This is a top pick! ... many others became sick because of the radiation. She also goes on to talk about the post-war American occupation of Japan and how the culture became very westernised as a result. Japanese society was very different before and after the war ...
Tokyo By Day
This is a top pick! We had big plans for the day so we woke up at 4:30. A.M. In the morning. 4:30 is an obscene hour to get up to pee, much less get ready for the day. But we wanted to visit the Tsukiji fish Market and all the good stuff happens between 5 and 9. So we ...
Tokyo
This is a top pick! ... cooking, not leaving the house for 24hours because your too hungover. To finish this babble with some practical information - Japan isn't as expensive as people think. Okay, its extortionate compared to other Asian countries, but Tokyo is cheaper ...
Kotooshu!
This is a top pick! ... with an American lad, and Bungo, a Japanese guy who worked at K's House and who became a good friend by the time I left Japan. It was decided that whoever lost had to drink a disgusting shot of something or other, and poor Bungo was close to being sick ...
Nigel and Wacker...
This is a top pick! ... such traumas, it's with great delight to report that the proceeding two months went absolutely swimmingly... On my first trip to Japan, I'd tried (and failed) to see the elusive Fuji-san on numerous occasions, each time being greeted by a wall of ...
Hiking in Daisetsuzan National Park
This is a top pick! ... on most corners. The radio was played through street-side speakers, which we found quite intrusive, but seems the norm in Japan, and the pedestrian crossings beeped and twittered away, each crossing with its distinctive noise. With only four months a year ...
Tokyo Whirlwind
This is a top pick! ... http://www.redcross.org.uk/Donate-Now/Make-a-single-donation/Japan-Tsunami-Appeal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a smooth twelve-hour ferry ...
Tokyo
This is a top pick! ... attraction in the area was the Temple, Senso-ji, in the same area is a five-storey pogoda, the second tallest in Japan. Here is a brief low down of the other neigbourhoods: Shibuya - famous for the pedestrian crossing where every few ...
Otaru - The Music Box Paradise
This is a top pick! (back to Sapporo, The Snow Festival Entry) OTARU (second day of the trip) Around 9 pm, we caught a rapid train to Otaru. The travel time between Sapporo and Otaru it takes about 30 minutes (¥620.00 per person; for a single trip). Otaru is a port ...
Okonomiyaki...
This is a top pick! ... my camera on this occasion, and took many photos as we walked through Itsukushima-jinja and saw the famous 'floating' torii - one of Japan's three best views. There were many deer mooching around as usual, but I didn't see anyone selling food to give ...
Kyoto and a big hangover (CONTAINS VIDEO)
This is a top pick! ... of China, the Eiffel Tower and Machu Picchu, so Kyoto is in auspicious company. Old Kyoto is the Japan from postcard and TV - traditional, serene, colourful and beautiful. Some things and places in the world just seem so ...
One city, two names
This is a top pick! Hakata - also known as the harder to pronounce Fukuoka, it is home to the rather cool Canal City. Ok so Canal City is just a shopping centre, but it has a canal! Obviously we went to Canal city but really, Hakata is just a city with no real charms. ...
Tokyo
This is a top pick! ... a deep slumber during the last 10 minute taxi down the runway to the gate. At least we were in Japan. ==================== Thanks for reading this stuff once again. Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Himeji and Nara are (hopefully) coming up ...
Konichiwa from Osaka, Japan.
This is a top pick! ... the opposing clichés the West associates with it: The people are quiet, reserved and ritualistic, there's an indecipherable craziness to Japan and the traditions go hand in hand with an enviable technical superiority. We arrived in Osaka at 7:30 am, ...
Chapter 33: Merry Christmas to All!
This is a top pick! ... traditional Christmas food and decorating trees and kissing under the mistletoe. I, sadly, would not be kissing under mistletoe even if Japan suddenly sprung a bushel out of the kitchen table. If we had one. ITS CHRISTMAS!!! I have to keep telling myself ...
JapanTastic
This is a top pick! ... and nothing on, it was fresh awakening to the day. we headed to the airport and said goodbye to Japan :( I absolutely loved it.... i was really looking forward to the visit and i was not disappointed, I'm even excited thinking about ...
Japanese Princesses
This is a top pick! ... into Tokyo! In my half asleep state at Hong Kong airport I managed to leave my Lonely Planet somewhere meaning I arrived in Japan completely lost. From the begining I thought that it was going to be a challange. Enter Narita airport with plans to buy ...
Is World Heritage Status a good or bad thing?
This is a top pick! ... - just one family-run inn with eight rooms. Places like Lijiang, China, and even the historic villages of Shirakawa, in Japan, suffered from the rapid development resulting from World Heritage status. Also, others were not sure that Iwami Silver Mine was, ...
Fukuoka
This is a top pick! ... . From digital toilets, musical pedestrian crossings, automatic doors on the taxis, vending machines everywhere (not filled with crap). In Japan, there's always a surprise around the corner! We flew from Beijing to Fukuoka in western Japan. From here we ...
Kanazawa
This is a top pick! ... ...with price tags to match. Anyway, the main point of interest in Kanazawa is the Kenrokuen Garden (top three Japanese Gardens, in Japan) and the Kanazawa Castle which dates back to 1546 when it was a religious school. It ...
Hi from Hiroshima
This is a top pick! ... so we head off to Miyajima, a nearby island with a 'floating' shrine gate, meant to be one of the three best views in Japan - also extremely touristy, and as we all know, Japan does do touristy very well indeed. The shrine is beautiful, as for once we ...
Lion Rock
This is a top pick! ... postcards and other Lion Rock omiyagi - perhaps a squint and a correct angle shows the lion.. It was just down the road from here that we saw a vending machine on the side of the road that didnt work! The only one I saw my whole 18 months in ...
