Les 14h d'avion sont passées assez lentement 😰
On a super bien mangé en revanche !
Impossible de regarder un film sur leurs écrans car les sous titres sont automatiquement mis en japonais... On a surtout dormi !
Et en terme d'action, notons une demie heure de turbulences pendant laquelle j'avais les jambes qui tremblaient et les dents qui claquaient (heureusement Dorine était d'un stoïcisme à toute épreuve) ainsi qu'un épisode assez drôle d'étouffement sévère par miette dans la gorge pendant l'atterrissage. Pas besoin de la manœuvre d'heimlich, fort heureusement 😂😂😂 je suis toujours vivanteRead more

Day 1
Arrival!
May 11, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Four years since we’ve been overseas, the last trip was to Japan in 2019 before the dreaded Covid! Our passports expired in that time and things at the airport have changed a little. It was all much more streamlined and we got through security and immigration faster than usual.
There is not much fun about long haul flying except finally getting to your destination. Watch some tv, read, sleep, eat! Flights were all on time though so that was a bonus.
Japan has gone high tech with customs and immigration, we filled everything out on net got a QR code to get through. The longest wait was for the luggage and for the staff to find the guitars but they did eventually bring them out. Everything looks like it made ok.

We had a great plan to ship the instrument straight to Osaka. But best laid plans and all that. We needed them delivered the next day and because it was so late they couldn’t do it. So all of them had to come on the train with us. We managed but only just and lucky we didn’t have to walk to far from the station. Wish we had a photo, we looked like a pair of pack horses.

With all of that it was 10 by the time we got to the hotel and found our room. Dumped all the bags and went looking for dinner.
We didn’t have to look far, just down the street from the hotel we passed a line of people waiting to get into a tiny restaurant, had a quick look at the menu and there were gyozas, Yah we didn’t need any further convincing. Tiny little place but so efficient and busy, they were pumping food out at an amazing rate.Read more
Traveler Always good to finally get there. Have fun!

Day 26–35
Kyoto, Osaka
October 23, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Last week+ of our time in Japan. Took the train today from Kyoto to Osaka. We will spend 3 nights here then fly to Taipei Taiwan for country number 2.

We spent the last 6 nights in Kyoto. Kyoto was my favorite place in Japan so far. It is the cultural center of Japan. There are a lot of tourists so they must feel the same. It is very beautiful with mountains surrounding and many gorgeous temples and shrines. The weather was perfect while we were in Kyoto. The highlights were doing a Geisha/Maiko makeover and photo shoot on my 55th birthday, walking through Nishiki market during the thunderstorm, Furishima Inari shrine and the bamboo forest there.

It might be that I felt overall more relaxed during our extended stay in Kyoto that helped me enjoy the area. Or perhaps I am starting to relax more overall.Read more

Day 16
Minato, Japan
October 7, 2016 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Gisteravond had Nash net voordat we bij het hotel kwamen nog een powernap gedaan, dus dat betekende nog even feest voor het slapen gaan. Vanmorgen waren de mannen niet wakker te krijgen, dus we hadden nog zo 15 minuten voor het ontbijt. Het ontbijtbuffet is vergelijkbaar als bij ons: eitje, croissants, fruit ed..

Na het ontbijt hebben we weer de metro genomen naar de Tokyotower. Ik denk dat 1 op de 20 mensen hier een mondkapje om hebben en de meeste zijn zo beleefd dat ze je niet aankijken. Opzich wel gek, maar aan de andere kant ook wel rustig gevoel dat ze je niet aanstaren, omdat je Westers/anders bent.

Nash was niet echt relax bij aankomst, waardoor we niet tot bovenaan in de Tokyotower zijn geweest, maar naar het aquarium ernaast. Vissen, pinguïns en zeehondjes kijken. Ja een binnen aquarium met zeehondjes en pinguïns toch een beetje apart, ze hadden ook niet heel veel ruimte om te zwemmen.
Nash vond het leuk, maar de grote vissen toch wel beetje eng.
Voordat je naar de uitgang kon, moest je eerst door de giftshop, commercieel hebben ze het hier goed uitgedacht ;) Knuffels, 3d kaarten, sleutelhangers, zelfs lego van vissen.

Naast de Tokyotower is een groot winkelcentrum, met op 1 etage een foodcourt, leuk allemaal verschillende tentjes op 1 rij, bijna overal hebben ze plaatjes bij het menu, dat maakt het kiezen wel iets makkelijker voor Paul (ik kan niet kiezen-man)

Hierna zijn we lopend naar de Senso-ji Tempel gegaan. Nash onderweg een tukkie gedaan, we hadden zelfs nog tijd om rustig een kop koffie te drinken!

Day 7
Shinkansen na Kyoto
October 22, 2019 in Japan ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
Op pad van Tokyo na Kyoto. Shinkansen beteken hoë spoed trein. Dis vandag publieke vakansiedag wat dit makliker maak om te beweeg, veral met tasse.

Punctuality

The Shinkansen is very reliable thanks to several factors, including its near-total separation from slower traffic. In 2016, JR Central reported that the Shinkansen's average delay from schedule per train was 24 seconds. This includes delays due to uncontrollable causes, such as natural disasters. The record, in 1997, was 18 seconds.

Tohoku Shinkansen

E5 series trains, capable of up to 320 km/h (200 mph) (initially limited to 300 km/h), were introduced on the Tōhoku Shinkansen in March 2011.Read more

Day 5
Shinagawa, Japan
July 14, 2016 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Today I was to be heading to Nikko. My friend Agasei wanted me to meet her at Shinagawa and then set off from there. This meant I had to brave the rush hour crush on the train from Ikebukuro. At first I was a bit worried when everyone piled onto the train and I was squished against so many people but as we cleared a few stations I managed to shift myself to a part of the carriage where I had better leverage to push back against the swarm of commuters. I held onto this prize location for the rest of the ride and reached Shinagawa on time. I can't imagine having to do that every morning to get to work. Phew!Read more

More from the Hakone Open-Air Museum.y favorite pieces.

This first one is my absolute favorite, titled "Close"

Also- we really loved this fried-egg installation and Maisie LOVED it too, until see she decided to walk really close to the edge of it and slipped and fell off. It was scary and sad when it happened, but kinda funny as I think about it now LOL.Read more
