Wakayama by Mistake

It happens when you travel sometimes. Sometimes you don't quite up where you expected to. As it turns out I got from Kobe to Osaka without a hitch. Then I showed the address of my hotel to information and...

Kobe Beef

Now I am sure there are a whole host of other reasons for people to come to Kobe. I had just one. To have some Kobe Beef (wa-gyu).

Kyoto Gion Corner

It was an overcast, grey miserable day and I can not say it inspired me to do all that much. I did start trying to arrange my days for after Kyoto and its just as well I did since...

Exploring Daitoku-ji

I decided I wanted to see something a little bit different so I settled on going to see Daitoku-ji a complex filled with Zen Temples, raked gardens and paths. The walk to get there took me a little longer...

The Nishiki Markets, Nijo-jo Castle & a Walk in Gion

It was grey and cold this morning so I decided to go to the Nishiki Markets which were at least under cover. Like a lot of things in Japan the market is quite, orderly but interesting anyway. You can...

I had a plan. Some of it worked. Sort of. First up I had decided that it would be good to go to the observation deck at Kyoto Tower since it was meant to have good views over Kyoto....

Fuji Hakone Guest House

While the Hakone area I stayed at the Fuji Hakone Guest House , the family that run it are very friendly and have lots of advice on what to go and see and basic things like the restaurants in...

Mt Fuji Makes an Apperance

One of the first things I did when I stepped off the Shinkansen at Odawara Station was to buy the Hakone Free Pass. Well ok it's not exactly free but once you have brought one it makes getting around...

Dinner at Tribeks

While in Tokyo I spent my ‘nice’ nights at the start of my holiday at the Hotel Century Southern tower. I ate in a variety of places from roadside stalls through to fancy restaurants, I’ve got to say I...

The Imperial Palace in Tokyo

So if you have an hour or two to kill in Tokyo and a tight budget one of the things you can do, for free, is a tour of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. I wouldn’t really go out...

On the Streets in Japan

My first real day in Tokyo, Japan turned out to be overcast, windy and somewhat cold still I was determined to go out and explore. So I decided to walk around and do a little shopping. Tokyo is known...
