      Tokyo in a day

      November 10, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      We've managed to negotiate the train system without too many mishaps and travelled (it seems) from one end of Tokyo to the other. The first stop was the Tokyo National Museum which put some of Japan's history into perspective. After lunch, a trip to Teamlabs -Planet; a hard to describe immersive experience; quite beautiful.Read more

      Meguro River

      April 5 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Our final Sakura spot of the trip was the Meguro river. This was on our list, and when Shashank and Sadhvi also recommended it, we decided to head there. We reached in the evening around 6pm, so it was already beginning to get dark. The river had beautiful cherry trees on either side with successive bridges offering nice view points. The trees were also illuminated with lamps on both sides of the river. The stretch was almost 2km long. We walked almost the entire stretch, clicked a few more pictures and found a ramen place for our final meal of the trip.Read more

      Kirschblüten Alarm!!

      April 6 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Als Sebastian während der Hinfahrt nach Yokohama schon eine Stelle auffiel als er aus dem Fenster sah, wollten wir diese nun auf dem Rückweg genauer erkunden. Letztlich blieb uns nichts anderes übrig, denn für den Zug hieß es plötzlich Endstation! Mit einer gewaltigen Masse an Menschen kamen wir aus der Station an die Oberfläche und sahen noch mehr Menschen und die Polizei musste zusätzlich den Verkehr regeln weil der Andrang so riesig war 😳

      Alle wollten zu dem Spot den Sebastian gesichtet hat 😅 er hat es scheinbar zu laut erzählt.

      Machste nichts 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also folgten wir der Masse zur Kirschblüten Fluss Promenade. Die blühenden Bäume waren wunderschön!
      Und gegenüber von diesem Naturspektakel erblickten wir ein deutsches Restaurant namens 'Schmatz', in dem authentisches deutsches Bier verkauft wird. Neben Schnitzeln und Wurstgerichten, gibt es laut Karte auch Sauerkraut und Kartoffelsalate 😅
      Da werden wir auf jeden Fall noch Essen gehen! Denn aus einem Video haben wir erfahren, dass einer der japanischen Kellner auch Deutsch spricht 😱

      Aber momentan waren wir einfach zu voll für etwas deftiges...es sei denn - es ist etwas süßes 🥰

      Ein Laden am Straßenrand verkaufte vor der Türe Kirschblüten Eis und diesmal bestellten wir komplett auf japanisch, auch wenn wir das japanische Wort für Eis nicht kannten 😅 Wir sagten einfach "Sakura o futatsu kudasai" was so viel bedeutet wie "zweimal Kirschblüte bitte". Immerhin wurde das Eis mit 'Sakura' beworben 😅

      Es schmeckte so lecker wie es aussah und wir genossen es während wir die Blüten betrachteten 🥰      Read more

      Shimizu, Japan

      June 19, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F

      This port is a gateway to see Fuji mountain. We have been in this port in 2019 in March and had a wonderful tour and the sky was clear. We have seen Fuji in full glory. Today was cloudy so mountain was not visible. We decided to stay in the city.
      First, we visited fish market. It is the cleanest market we ever seen. The variety of fish is amazing. There are many restaurants on the second floor of the market serving sashimi. We had huge sashimi lunch of the freshest fish for less then $18 total for two.
      Happy and full, we traced our steps back to the port and visited big shopping center.
      After that we walked to the Buddhist Myokiji Temple. There is a bell that was taking by US during WWII and then returned in 1997. We were the only visitors. The temple was closed, but they opened it just for us.
      Few minutes walk from that was Minowa Inari Shrine with a history of 400 years . There are 83 small red tortillas gates lined up. Again, we were all alone in this place.
      We got back on the ship just on time before the rain.      Read more

      Tokyo, Japan. Day 1

      June 20, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

      We arrived at 8:00am, but decided to wait at least 9:30am to start our day to avoid morning rush hours.
      We took a personal shuttle (that was a surprise) from cruise ship terminal to the subway station.
      Our original plan was to go to the park and then to Tokyo Tower, but we met friends and they talked us to go to Tower before park.
      We took monorail, then transferred to a subway and then arrived to the Tokyo Tower by 11:00am.

      The Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower, built in 1958. At 332.9 meters (1,092 ft), it is the second-tallest structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired.

      The two-story Main Deck is at 150 meters (490 ft), while the smaller Top Deck reaches a height of 249.6 meters (819 ft).
      We purchased tickets to go to the Top Deck.
      After visiting it, we walked to have nice lunch. After lunch we walked to the park. It was a long 36 min walk. The park is beautiful, but the pavement is loose stones and it was hard for Boris and me to push a wheelchair.
      Back on the street, we walked to the subway and came back on ship.
      After two hours of rest and light dinner, back to the city.
      We wanted to be in the city at night. It took us 40 min to get to Shibuya crossing.
      It is the busiest intersection in the world.

      At the peak times upwards of 3000 people – cross at a time, coming from all directions at once.
      So much fun watching people. We walked around for another hour to experience night Tokyo, then back on subway.
      From subway, another 20 min walk to the ship. At 11:30 pm the shuttle was not available.
      That day I walked over 26,000 steps.      Read more

      Auf in die neue und letzte Reise

      March 8 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

      Hui aufgrund der vielen Streiks in Deutschland war der Reiswechsel diesmal äußerst anstrengend. Doch nach einem 16-Stunden-Tag ist es nun geschafft. Die ehemaligen Gäste sind auf neue Rückflüge verteilt und ein Großteil der neuen Gäste ist auch über Ulwege angekommen. Bevor wir nun alle tot ins Bett fallen, wird nochmal auf den heutigen, chaotischen Tag angestoßen. Zudem freuen wir uns auf die kommende Japan-Intensiv-Reise, welche zugleich meine letzte sein wird bevor es wieder nach Hause geht.Read more

      Hello Tokyo

      November 9, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      After a delayed departure of nearly 2 hours, our flight to tokyo arrived at about 10pm. By the time we booked into our hotel we were hungry and thirsty. Fortunately there was a Yogocho (sort of food hall) across the road. As you can see, the first beer disappeared very quickly and the second one also.Read more

      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

      Tokyo (1) - eine krasse "Erfahrung"

      May 12, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Die Sonne scheint prächtig, ein herrlicher Tag zum Mega-Sightseeing- Programm...
      Wir fahren nach dem Frühstück am Tokyo-Tower vorbei zum Zojo-ji Tempel, gegründet 1622, mit dem Tokyo-Tower im Hintergrund ein krasser Kontrast von Tradition und Moderne.
      Dann kommen wir durch das riesige Hafengebiet und haben tolle Ausblicke auf die Hochhaus-Skyline von Tokyo und verschiedene Brücken, von denen die Rainbow Bridge die eindrucksvollste ist.
      "New York, Rio, Tokyo....". Das Lied kommt mir angesichts der Freiheitsstatue in den Sinn. Was für eine super Kulisse. In der Nähe steht ein riesiger Roboter, die Unicorn Gundam Statue. Von dort radeln wir zum Zsukiji-Fischmarkt - wow, das ist ein Erlebnis. Neben optischen Leckerbisen gibt es leckeren Seafood an jeder Eckr. Wir probieren gegrillte Jakobsmuscheln, Seeigel und Fisch-Sushi - sehr lecker!      Read more
