      נוסעים לTakayama

      5月5日, 日本 ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      היום נסיעה ארוכה של חמש שעות מOdawara אל Takayama.
      אחרי שלוש שעות עצרנו במצומוטו, בטירה, לחלץ רגליים. הטירה מבחוץ מאוד יפה, לא נכנסנו פנימה כי השלטים בחוץ בישרו על המתנה של 70 דקות לכניסה ⌚
      המשכנו בנסיעה עוד שעתיים והגענו ליעד, האלפים היפניים, בTakayama.

      הלכנו לארוחת ערב במסעדה מקומית, האוכל היה בינוני מינוס ( לא לטעמנו בכל אופן) אבל ילדה חמודה מקומית באה והתחילה לשחק עם הדס, היא ציירה איתה ושיחקה, בסוף גם נתנה לה סוכריה וחיבוק. הדס חושבת שהיא הילדה הכי מתוקה שיש וביקשה לחזור למסעדה מחר כדי לשחק איתה שוב....

      היום זהו היום האחרון של הגולדן וייק, שהיא החופשה השנתית הארוכה של היפנים. אנו מקווים שמעתה התורים יתקצרו ויהיו פחות עומסים במקומות שנבקר בהם. נעדכן....

      Day 7

      5月5日, 日本 ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

      Another great day. Got up at 8.30 and headed straight into the centre of Kyoto in search for some brekafast! Managed to find a nice place and had some avacado eggs and bacon. After breakfast we headed to the metro to Kyoto central and then used our JR pass to get to Nara park (2.5 hours south of Kyoto).

      Was a scorcher of a day here and 30 degrees so perfect day for it. Nara was mobbed and we went to get food for the wild deers to feed them! If you bow they copy you and Sinéad had luck with getting them to do so but I sadly couldn’t! We then decided to hike up up mount Wakakusa which had a lot of very steep step sections and took about an hour and a half in the hot sun! We arrived to the top sweaty but with great views of Nara!

      We then trekked down (killer on the knees) and headed to the amazing Toda-ji temple! We paid £3 to enter and was amazing to see. Japan biggest golden Buddha was inside. After we toured the temple we grabbed a smoothie and a donut as a snack. After another 45 min walk on the sun to the station we decided to head to Nijo castle (near Kyoto). Was a max rush to make it before 5 (when it shut) and turns out they don’t let peole in after 4 so we had to just take photos outside!

      By this time (5pm) we were starving so got some great sweet and sour chicken with rice and a coffee each for just £11 all in! We then we walked back to the flat, showered and headed needed to local Catholic Church as Sinéad wanted to go to mass. It was a surreal experience in a modern church but the mass format was exact same as Scotland! Peace be with you was everyone bowing to each other. On the way back we did some shopping for souvenirs in the amazing market here in Kyoto!

      After mass we went for dinner at this charcoal grill place I’d wanted to go to. We went in to find it fully booked with a table not available until 10pm so we went and tried out a small bite to eat in KFC (Sinéad wanted to try japans version) and had some more highballs and a beer at a random whiskey bar. We came back at 10 and had what I think was our best meal. We sat at a square bar with the chefs all in the middle cooking fresh from a big charcoal grill. We got grilled squid, wagyu beef, chicken thighs and fries all done on the grill and flambéed.

      We finished dinner at just after 11 and went to do some karaoke (a Japanese tradition) we found a small place with thankfully private rooms and booked one out for 30 mins (£6) and attempted to sing some cranberries, Elvis, Eminem, Dolly Parton and Tinnie Tempah before we were kicked out by getting a call to the room saying our time was up! Another 26k steps and tired legs but busy day tomorrow again!

      Letzter Abend und ein Fazit

      5月4日, 日本 ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

      Fast drei Wochen Japan - was für ein Erlebnis! Das es uns gefallen würde, das war uns eigentlich schon vorher klar aber das wir in jedem Ort so tolle, gastfreundliche Menschen treffen werden, das hat uns einfach umgehauen. Humor, Musik, Filme und natürlich Fussball sind einfach international, man versteht sich mit oder ohne Sprachkenntnissen. Google ist eine enorme Hilfe, bei Sprache und Orientierung. Aber man findet sich doch schnell zurecht. ( der eine ( Eric) etwas besser als manch andere) Japan ist abwechslungsreich, trubelig aber auch ruhig. Besonders aufgefallen ist uns, wie rücksichtsvoll man miteinander umgeht. Die Busse und Bahnen sind so leise, da kann ein Deutsche Bahn-Ruheabteil nur von Träumen. Die Jobs egal, welcher, werden sehr ernst genommen und mit äusserster Sorgfalt ausgeführt, ob es die Salzendkontrolle oder das Säubern von Umkleiden nach jedem Besucher ist. Das Essen ist fantastisch und immer hübsch angerichtet deshalb komme ich gefühlt mit leichter Sumotaille wieder zurück. Aber jedes Gramm war es wert. Ich bin mir sicher, das wird nicht die letzte Reise ins Land der aufgehenden Sonne sein🇯🇵.もっと詳しく

      Day 63-65

      5月2日, 日本 ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Day 63

      To round off our time in Miyagi we wanted to explore Matsushima Bay which has over 100 islands. In all fairness a lot of them are more like big rocks and all of them are uninhabited. However, the views in the bay are really pretty and on a sunny and warm day like today it seemed like a perfect way to spend the day.

      Hopped on the train that only took an hour or so and then we walked along the coast which was really beautiful with the sun dancing across the water and almost no clouds in the sky. There are a few islands that can be reached by footbridge with the most famous being Fukuurajima which is connected to the main land by a bright red 200 metre bridge. Crossing the bridge we followed the footpaths around the island enjoying the views across the bay and strolling along the quiet beach. Looking for nice shells and enjoying the sea breeze the day soon slipped away from us. Wondering around the bay for a little while longer we grabbed a bite to eat before heading back to Sendai for our last night before we head to Iwate tomorrow. Another fun day exploring all Japan has to offer.

      Day 64

      Today we left Miyagi and made the journey to Morioka city in Iwate prefecture. Luckily the journey didn’t take too long so we had time to enjoy the day at a more leisurely pace enjoying a nice breakfast before we left. Arriving in Iwate we checked in and wondered through the city for a while. It’s really interesting, Iwate prefecture is made up of very few cities. They are effectively all in a line heading north with the bullet train running through them and the rest of the prefecture is mountains and beautiful landscapes some of which we are hoping to see tomorrow!

      Day 65

      Today we decided to head towards the coast which is what Iwate is famous for especially Jodogahama beach! So we hopped on the two buses and arrived in the sunshine at Jodogahama beach. Absolutely the perfect day for it today as we enjoyed a beautiful costal walk with stunning views of the crystal clear waters and dramatic rock formations. It’s no wonder it’s famous it really is a gorgeous stretch of coast!

      We managed to rent a rowing boat and we ventured around the bay taking in all the views. We still had to wear a life jacket though which felt utterly unnecessary but I’ve never rowed on the sea before so that was a fun new experience!

      It really was so much fun, we also grabbed what looked like a large hash brown from a food truck but it definitely was not a hash brown but I have no idea what it was! Possibly squid?? It was very hard to tell!

      With the sun sinking quickly we hopped on the first bus which took us back to the nearest village where we waited for our last bus. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough space for us and we were kicked off. Feeling rather disheartened as the next bus wasn’t for 2 hours the driver then came up to us and said he had called for a bus to come get us in 10 minutes! Absolutely bewildered we thanked him and were thrilled we didn’t have to wait another two hours. Only in Japan would they call another bus out to pick up two people- absolutely extraordinary we couldn’t believe it, and sure enough 10 minutes later a bus arrived to pick us up!

      So we’ve had a lovely few days on Japans coast and the perfect weather for it!

      Bärenalarm am Mount Fuji

      4月30日, 日本 ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Die Kirchenglocken aus der Spotify-Playlist dröhnten, um uns vor drohenden Bärenbegegnungen zu schützen. Diese sind in den waldigen Bergkämmen Japans verbreitet, und lassen Wanderer, sofern sie im Vorfeld akustisch gewarnt werden in Frieden. Da wir keine analoge Glocke dabei hatten, nutzten wir also eine digitale Variante.

      Aber wo waren wir eigentlich unterwegs. In Kawaguchiko kamen wir in den Morgenstunden, nach einer Busfahrt aus Tokio an. Hier erhofften wir uns einen guten Blick auf den Mount Fuji, der nicht nur der höchste Gipfel des Landes, sondern in gewisser Weise auch Nationalheiligtum ist. Als wir die Wanderung starteten, war der rund 3700-meterhohe Berg in dichten Wolken eingebettet. Doch nach der teilweise recht fordernden Tour bekamen wir am höchsten Punkt angekommen zur Belohnung das schöne Bergpanorama.

      Zwar blieben wir noch zwei weitere Tage in Kawaguchiko doch es sollte das letzte Mal gewesen sein, dass wir Mt. Fuji sehen konnten. Der Himmel zog sich zu und als wir am letzten Tag unseres Aufenthalts, eine weitere Wanderung, um den anliegenden See machen wollten, schüttete es den ganzen Tag wie aus Kübeln.

      Das war allerdings nicht weiter schlimm und wir nutzen den Tag, um die kommenden Wochen zu planen und gingen mit Bekanntschaften aus dem Hostel indisch essen. Die Zeit in Kawaguchiko war insgesamt sehr entschleunigend und perfekt um Kraft zu sammeln, um in nächste Abenteuer mit über 300 km/h zu starten.

      Day 6

      5月3日, 日本 ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

      Late rise as check in time wasnt until 11am. We got up at 9 went for breakfast packed and then ordered a taxi (as had 2 huge suitcases and didn’t fancy busy metro) to the main station of Tokyo! We got our bullet train at 12.33 and ate some amazing supermarket sushi and a bento box! Eating in public is frowned upon in Japan but a tradition to eat in the bullet train.

      We managed to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji on the way down although it was covered mostly by a cloud! Speed of the train was crazy and we got to see more of rural Japan on the journey down south! We arrived in Kyoto at 3.15 and instantly it feels more chilled than manic Tokyo! I heard before E that Kyoto had better food and was more laidback than Tokyo and it hasn’t dossaponted so far! We are staying with Hori who is a Japanese guy and has a traditional Japanese home which I’ve shown. The walls are all paper and the doors slide open. We are sleeping on the floor so far from luxury but a good experience and the shower is excellent.

      When we arrived we had to put on slippers and exchanged rules through sign language. After we dumped the bags off we ventured to the famous Nishiki market which is 1 minutes from the flat! (Great location). The food there is crazy and it goes on for miles! Everything is fresh and vibrant, there’s loads of octupus , prawns, Waugu, beef, matcha etc! We had some nice pork gyoza and some octopus balls for just £5. Also had a shot of saki too wash it down.

      After the market we deceive to get the metro to the amazing shrine that Kyoto is known for called Inari. It was great to see and we rushed to get the golden hour sunshine but just missed it! Behind it we could see some steps so decided to venture up only to see it was a 1 hour hike up 1000 steps! We arrived at the top sweaty and tired but worth it for the amazing view over Kyoto.

      We waddled down from the top and then walked back into Kyoto for some food. Kyoto is very trendy and lots of young people and trendy bars and restaurants. Unlike Tokyo peole seem to speak in English here so not so alien. We ventured into a whiskey bar and ordered a high ball (whiskey mixed with a soft drink) unfortunately the whiskey we got was white horse which turns out to be a scotch rather than a Japanese whiskey!

      After our drink we ventured into a random restaurant near the flat and had some garlic chilli pork with some rice and a Tsing Tao to wash it down. I’m getting the hang of chop sticks now finally and quite like them now. We went to the supermarket to get some supplies and now make in Horis home with an early start tommrow!

      רחוב הסכינים

      5月3日, 日本 ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      היום הלכנו לרחוב Kapabashi, הידוע בשם רחוב הסכינים על שם המספר הרב של חנויות סכינים הפזורות לאורכו.
      למען האמת זה רחוב של חנויות של כלי מטבח, מכל הסוגים ולכל הצרכים. מסט כלי אוכל מלא ועד מכשיר לקילוף אספרגוס.
      היום הוא חג כינון החוקה ביפן, וחנויות רבות היו סגורות. אני חושב שזה לטובתנו כי גם ככה המבחר נראה אינסופי.
      המשכנו לצהריים של סושי בKura Sushi, שם אכלנו סושי ממסוע בפעם הראשונה. היה מוצלח.
      הסתובבנו בשוק של אסקוסה בחנויות הרבות וחזרנו בערב לחדר.
      התוכנית היתה להגיע היום לגן החיות בפארק באונו, אבל בטוקיו לדברים יש דרך משלהם. היום מתגלגל בלי ששמים לב. לא הספקנו להגיע לגן החיות אבל עשינו וראינו דברים אחרים.

      Fri 03 May. Kyoto

      5月2日, 日本 ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Rainy on Wednesday but we managed to walk around the bamboo forest and just about avoided having our eyes poked out by one of the thousands of umbrellas, rain or shine they love a brolly.

      Took a trip to Nara on Thursday for yet more temples then a visit to the park where hundreds of deer wander around waiting to be fed, nice smell of deer💩 . They have even learnt to bow when someone gives them one of the crackers they sell to feed to them..... someone's bright ideer 😕

      Our last day in Kyoto and we took a stroll through the gardens at the Imperial Palace. It was another public holiday, the sun was out so plenty of people around, especially twitchers. We stood watching them take hundreds of photos but not sure what it was they spotted. Our best guess was a yellow tit ( do your own jokes 😭).

      Cascades

      5月3日, 日本 ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Tout le long du chemin on peut trouver des cloches. Il faut les sonner pour éloigner les ours qui vivent dans la forêt.
      Une belle pause à mi chemin près des cascades avant de boire un thé offert par un habitant.もっと詳しく

      The beach

      5月3日, 日本 ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Na das hat doch endlich mal geklappt mit dem Paradies. Wir ergattern die letzten Plätze auf der Fähre zu Kerama Island. Wir fahren mit dem Taxi zu Tokishito Beach. Schön hier, glasklares Wasser. Ich frage den Lifequard, warum man nur im abgestecktem Bereich schwimmen soll. Die Anwort ist dön dön dän dön ( hört ihr die Musik?) Sharks !!
      Und auf dem Weg dorthin wurde noch ein Rätsel gelöst
      Jeden Morgen um die gleiche Uhrzeit hörten wir Beethovens Für Elise für ca. 5 Minuten. Was war das? Auflösung: Es ist die Müllabfuhr, die jeden Morgen kommt. Aber jeder Wagen hat eine andere Melodie, so wie auch jede Bus- oder Metrostation ihren eigenen Jingle hat. ❤️
      Am Ende ein wenig Aufregung: 3 Minuten vor Abfahrt gehe ich auf die Toilette ( klein, kein Fenster) schließe ab und sehe in genau diesem Moment, dass man das auf keinen Fall tun soll) und die Tür geht nicht mehr auf. Mein hysterisches Klopfen ist meinem Gatten natürlich wieder voll peinlich . Ich werde befreit und kann pünktlich zur Fähre zurück. Herzkasper echt.
