So, on our third day, we met a new friend and spent one full day in Kyoto. Meet Jun! Just kidding – we did meet a new friend named Jun. He is Mhealler’s former workmate from when he was working back for a law firm. He was our tour guide for the day, and we […]
On the 2nd day of our trip, Rhys finally arrived but without her precious baggage. It wasn’t a good start for her vacation although we tried our best to convince her that everything would be alright! Because Rhys didn’t have her luggage – the only clothes she had were the ones she was wearing. So, […]
This took 1 year in the making. I have been slacking off a lot, but since I just renewed my domain (and it isn’t cheap), I have to make the most out of it. So, here goes a series of throwback posts on our Osaka/Kyoto Autumn last October 2017 with Azure Laagans – starting with […]
My goal for this trip was really to explore places in Tokyo that I’ve never been to before. Shibuya, I have visited the most in Tokyo, but I wanted to hangout here for today for some window-shopping and Pokemon Go! Hachiko Square Shibuya is equivalent to Hachiko and the crazy scramble crossing. I’ve posted about […]
After putting this off of my itinerary, I finally found time to visit Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden today. And I’m glad that I postponed it to a day when I had more free time, because the place is enormous! The last time I went here with my friends, we were in a rush. We arrived […]
Although day tours are convenient, because of the distance and the length of the commute, it can still be tiring and draining. After two consecutive day tours, including waking up early for the pick-ups, my body caved in to sleep. In short, I woke up at 12 noon! My remaining days until I leave on […]
It’s weird for most that even though I have been to Japan several times, I have never seen Mt. Fuji yet. The truth is, I have tried to see the great mountain on my very first visit (from Hakone), but he didn’t show up. They said that Mt. Fuji is a shy mountain, showing itself […]
The second half of the day tour is Enoshima Island, well-known for its shrine to the goddess who brings love to those who pray for it! Enoshima is a mountain island, with observation decks on the peak, and the shrines spread out in two levels. There’s also a light house, an aquarium, and tons of […]
Today, I booked a day tour to Kamakura and Enoshima Island through Japanican.com. Since I have 10 days to kill in Tokyo, and planning (and executing) can be a bit painful, a paid tour would be convenient. It costs money, but since I’m traveling alone, getting to these places I booked will be more difficult […]
Another day of sleeping more than the usual because of the cold weather! I can imagine how hard it would be to actually work in Japan and wake up every morning. For today, I only have one thing on my itinerary – Yokohama! It’s a city I’ve always wanted to visit because of two anime […]
