Hari 5
Chuchibu trip home
3 Desember 2022, Jepang ⋅ 🌙 5 °C
I caught the 8 pm train home which got me home around 10:30.
I was worried I would be stuck there as a lot of the roads were closed off and police kept detouring me. The main fireworks went off while I was on the train but they were very far away so I didn't feel like I was missing much. It was interesting how much the windows shook from the firework shockwaves though.
There was another guy (Josh) on the train ride back to Tokyo who was from Bunbury WA. He was on his first trip overseas and was heading back to Melbourne in a few days. It was really nice talking to someone the whole time, we almost missed our transfers twice. He suggested I check out a few places but it looks like he was doing similar to me traveling by himself and had spent most nights in capsules and eating from convenience stores which was his biggest takeaway from Japan.Baca selengkapnya

Packup from Tokyo ryokan
4 Desember 2022, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
I repacked my gear, checked out, and had breakfast. They had a lamazocco machine but he didn't know how to use that well but I paid extra for a coffee anyway.
There was only the 2 of them working so they were a little stressed out but still very friendly.Baca selengkapnya

Nishiki markets
4 Desember 2022, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
I got myself settled so thought I would head out for a walk, Zac had suggested a gyoza bar he liked and since I haven't had lunch I thought I would walk that way.
On the way I passed nishiki markets which was full of action and some great smelling food. I'll have to come past here again another night.Baca selengkapnya

Had a great dinner here, it was a very internationally friendly place which had money from all over the world on the walls. I was tempted to order the horse sashimi but thought better of it as not really that keen to eat horse.Baca selengkapnya

Pelancong Horse is widely eaten in Europe also. If you get another chance, maybe try it 😁

Hari 6
Night time walk Pontocho
4 Desember 2022, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
I walked around the block and through a very narrow street called Pontocho. It had some very fancy restaurants but then further down turned into a red light district, I was a little tempted by the pink salon and soap bars but didn't have the balls to actually go in, I hear they are not very friendly for gaijin(foreigners).

Headed back to the hotel for a spa, I popped my head in earlier today and saw a 70+ year old naked guy in the changing room so figured I would come back later. Note to self: bring a privacy towel.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 6
Late night onsen
4 Desember 2022, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
The hotel had a spa on the 9th floor split to men and woman sections. It felt weird at first being naked but slowly got used to it. There were 7 other guys there so I went to the sauna to get used to it a little first.
By the end of it it almost felt normal but I think it will take me quite a while to fully relax. Good practice for the mixed onsens possibly in the future.

I also did some washing in the wash and dry machines upstairs. Cost $5.5 but all my clothes are clean again. I wish I had brought less clothes and items as most of them I probably don't need.

Also weighed myself and finally dropped under 100. I have been walking around 12km each day though so I guess it adds up.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 7
Quiet day
5 Desember 2022, Jepang ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
I stayed in my room pretty much the whole day. I had planned to spend the morning planning a head a little and booking some hotels/activities but found I kept hitting walls and this just got me down. Spoke to a friend later who reminded me there is no perfect day or trip or hotel or activity. Just make the most of what happens and if something bad happens it adds to the adventure. Trying to keep that in mind but I enjoyed having a quiet day to myself just playing games and watching a movie in bed.
Had breakfast downstairs,
lunch at the ramen place next door. They had very good ramen and found it interesting to order in Japanese on the tablet.
Word of the day otanjobi, meaning it's ok or all good.
Dinner was a 7-11 dinner as I had wanted to try that anyway. It was quite nice but pretty basic.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 8
Breakfast and morning walk/thoughts
6 Desember 2022, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Today the plan is to get out south east and see some of the temples in the area. I was going to hire a bike/motorbike but it seemed too much of a hassle and parking is apparently a problem. They have no rideshare bikes or scooters here and the public transport isn't the best so will just walk.

I passed by a temple on the way and sat down with them for a minute which was calming as there were no other tourists around. I then walked through the cemetery which was really nice, I found it interesting to look down on it as the graves made it look like a little city.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 8
Kiyomizu-dera
6 Desember 2022, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
I came back to kiyomizu-dera. I have a few photos of this place from when I was 15 but not many memories, I wanted to throw myself in and really make the most of the temple this time so I committed to every activity there. I tried to lift the staffs, paid for incense and a prayer, got a fortune, did the prayer water part, and walked the whole complex.
I found it interesting how worn down the wood was in the temple that the knots were protruding above everything else.
The trees had turned some very nice colours and the day was just beautiful for it. It started out around 6° but I was able to drop my jacket for most of it as it had warmed up in the sun.
There are lots of girls walking around in kimonos as it seems that's how they make the most of the day here.Baca selengkapnya
