Day 9
Shinkansen nach Kyoto
April 23 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Auf dem sehr leisen, sehr sauberen Bahnsteig geht meine Colaflasche mit nem Megaknall los. Peinlich peinlich. Der Knall war so laut, der gesamte Bahnsteig hat sich erschrocken. Eric schämt sich für mich.Read more

Day 19
Kyoto -> Tokyo
June 20, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
In paar Tagen geht's nach Hause und somit steht meine letzte Fahrt mit dem Shinkansen an.
Ich bin erneut begeistert von diesem Komfort, der Schnelligkeit, jeglicher Ruhe (es ist möglich, ohne Probleme Karten zu schreiben) und Sauberkeit.
Für die Strecke von ca. 470 km, für die man per Pkw etwa 6 Stunden bräuchte, benötigt der Shinkansen etwa 2,5 Stunden.

Einen Blick auf den Mt. Fuji erhasche ich leider nicht. Das Wetter spielt nicht mit.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

Day 8
Buffet at the Prince Hotel
July 17, 2016 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
I had never been to a lunch buffet with such quality food. I'm used to just the warm up stuff back home. Agasei told me it's usually very hard to get a reservation for this place but because Aiko knew a man who worked there we were able to eat 😊
We started off with crabs legs. I was just lazy letting Aiko extract all the meat for me. I tried quite a few Japanese foods that I can remember the names of but all of them were tasty. Pinky and Aiko took a liking to my selfie stick and took over with photo after photo. It was all good fun chatting and eating. I was stuffed!Read more

Day 12
Coffee and Rude Waitresses
July 21, 2016 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Because I didn't really have a plan for the day, and because I was having such a great time with Agasei and Aiko, I stayed on with them. They asked if there was anything I would like to do but in all honesty I was just happy having a good chat and spending time with them. We ended up in a Hawaian coffee shop at Prince Hotel. We ordered a mix sandwich set (yes more food) and drinks. We were there for a while, laughing and talking but the waitresses seemed quite rude to me. They kept coming over looking at our bill and I noticed a few waitresses kept looking over at us. It really started to annoy Aiko. Maybe they thought we were riff raff. The place did seem kind of posh but still, we're paying customers!Read more

Day 8: Hakone (part 2)
April 19, 2017 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
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
