Japan
As you’ll have seen over the last few weeks, I’ve been publishing plenty of blog posts documenting my time spent across Japan. Although my time spent there was limited to just two weeks, I’ve wound up with seven posts outlining the highlights from the trip, so here I’ve included them all for quick and easy reference!
1Tokyo
I arrive in Japan to some drama with my passport and explore the nations capital. Including a climb up the world’s tallest tower, an awesome interactive art exhibition, and many amazing districts of the world’s biggest city.
2Kyoto
The bullet train takes me to Japan’s old capital, where I explore many temples and sample some of the best food I’ve ever tasted.
3Arima
A series of trains takes me to the mountains of Kobe, where I meet up with Inés and get my first taste of the famous onsen spas.
4Osaka
Inés and I head to the city she’s been living in. We explore the centre and then spend a day taking in the sights of a huge parade through the streets then on the river.
5Hiroshima
I head out for a day trip to this infamous city, exploring the historical landmarks and relaxing in a tranquil park. The day ends with karaoke back in Osaka.
6Nara
Inés, Joob, and I make an excursion to a city famed for being overrun by deer. We interact with them, have lunch, and explore the ancient parts of Nara.
7Back to Osaka
My trip ends with my last few days in Osaka. We enjoy some amazing food and end the trip with a visit to Yuki’s house.
As ever, you can also start at the very beginning of the trip and then just hit “Next blog post” at the bottom of each post as you go along. I’ve also updated my travel page with all the new locations I visited along the way. Happy reading!
