- 6/19/11 Sakuragitcho/YokohamaFinally to today! I was in a near panic last night and this morning trying to make sure I caught the right train and didn't make Chris wait too long. This area I got off at was particularly large and Posted by mfrey in Traveling Through Japan | Jun 19, 2011
- 6/17/11 ShinjukuSorry it took me so long to get back to the blog. I had so much going on that I couldn't find any time to make this post. Each post takes close to an hour between uploading pictures, inserting them Posted by mfrey in Traveling Through Japan | Jun 19, 2011
- Hi-Tech TokyoTokyo is a sprawling megacity and, like other large cities, can be mad and overwhelming in places but quiet and low-key in others. Our hostel is a short walk from the Akihabara district, fa Posted by shoestring in A Grand Adventure | Jun 18, 2011
- Where's Wally? Part 4 See if you can find Wally at the famous Shibuya crossing! Posted by shoestring in A Grand Adventure | Jun 17, 2011
- Last Day in IkebukuroHello everyone, I got a lot of positive feedback on the last post, it makes me happy that you are enjoying what I'm doing. I got lost a whole bunch today but the result was still a lot of pictures. I should Posted by mfrey in Traveling Through Japan | Jun 16, 2011
- Biting the BulletThere was only one way to get from Kyoto to Tokyo - by Shinkansen, better known as the Bullet Train. Our train was the latest model, the N700, which took 141 minutes to travel the 515km bet Posted by shoestring in A Grand Adventure | Jun 15, 2011
- Geisha-Spotting in KyotoOur stay in Osaka was short - just one night. Yesterday we caught the train to Kyoto, around 45 minutes away. Kyoto is known for the geisha in the Gion district, so once we'd checked into the hostel we headed there Posted by shoestring in A Grand Adventure | Jun 15, 2011
- How to eat for less than £10 a day: Part 4 We knew Japan was going to be more of a challenge, but there are still ways to eat well - and relatively cheaply. Boxes of sushi, rice and other assorted goodies - ideal for lunch - can be bou Posted by shoestring in A Grand Adventure | Jun 15, 2011
- Okonomiyaki in OsakaJapanese immigration and customs proved to be a very smooth process, though they were quite thorough in checking our bags. We needed money for the subway but none of the ATMs at the port would give us any. Beginning to Posted by shoestring in A Grand Adventure | Jun 14, 2011
- A Slow Boat to Japan: Day 2We were woken unexpectedly early by an announcement at 7.30am, followed by a selection of music that included The Blue Danube and a tune that sounded suspiciously like one featured in Super Mario Galaxy. There was another annoucement at 8am Posted by shoestring in A Grand Adventure | Jun 13, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun - Part 9 - YokohamaBad news - this post will be sorta short. Good news - less opportunity for me to ramble. Also, every one of these was taken at night and with my point-and-shoot camera, so the quality will be a bit lacking Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun - Part 8 - The Gang in Tokyo!On a couple of notes - huzzah! We are back and refreshed from a much-needed week of Disney magic, just in time to resume the Japan posts - starting with the first appearances of my bro and of my gracious Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun - Part 7 - Shibuya and ShinjukuIt's about time for another one of these... I have been slacking for too long! OK, so I can't call it slacking too much, given the amount of other things we've been posting throughout the last month. Needless to say, Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun - Part 6 - Asakusa #2After my narcissistic self-portrait-in-the-building, I turned around and headed back towards the dock where I'd soon load up for a very personal, off-the-beaten-path, untouristy boat ride down the heart of Tokyo (yes, I'm laying it on pretty thick). The Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun - Part 5 - Museum and AsakusaI'm back! It's been too long since the last update. Apologies. I've just finished building 104' feet of fence for our spoiled rotten Corgis, so now I can return my attention to hopefully cranking out these updates. We've set a Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun - Part 4 - AkihabaraOK, now it's time for something a little different. Day number three takes us back from the smaller towns on the outskirts of Tokyo, to right smack in the middle of the largest metropolis in the world. This series is Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun - Part 3 - Kamakura #2Not wasting any time here - straight on to the second half of Kamakura. Here we're picking up shortly after the adulterous charm episode as described in the previous post. Another couple of miles of walking around would lead to Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun – Part 2 – Kamakura #1This next entry in this new Japan series comes to you from Kamakura, a small town about an hour outside of Tokyo that is loaded with ancient history and relics. With Fuji checked off of my list, my legs still Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Land of the Rising Sun - Part 1 - Hakone In November, I finally got to go on my dream trip - 2 weeks in Japan! At the time I was going, a good friend of mine who I met in Australia when I was on a summer internship was now Posted by fryhtaning in Eating the proverbial elephant | Jun 10, 2011
- Tokyo told in PicturesA lot of our time here in Japan was with the Rokudan Choir, a bunch of old, powerful guys from Toyko who like to sing. Apparently, the former Prime Minister of Japan is in it, as well as Kent Gilbert, Posted by Rydin' the Wave in Rydin' the Wave | Jun 2, 2011
- Jesting in JapanMay as well give Japan it's own entry. India and Indonesia both got them and they were a bit average. We got up at 4.15 so that we could catch our flight to Tokyo. At the airport we said goodbye to Posted by tom_christmas in Around the World in Eighty (one) Days | May 31, 2011
- Nikko and DepartureThis, finally, is my last post about my trip to Japan. There are several day trips to be taken out of Tokyo, but the one that appealed the most to me was to go up to Nikko, a place which Posted by NZBarry in Barry Travels the World | May 24, 2011
- KyotoKyoto was once the capital of Japan, back when Tokyo was called Edo. So it's considered quite an important place to visit. We had planned to stay three nights but extended the visit to four, partly because the day we Posted by jelkin in Bumbling Around Asia | May 7, 2011
- Mount KoyaI'd been really looking forward to Koya-san. It's a little town up on Mount Koya. Most people who go there stay in temples and get up at stupid o'clock to take part in the prayer rituals with the monks in Posted by jelkin in Bumbling Around Asia | May 7, 2011
- NaraNara was another one-night stop-off. Our hotel was pretty easy to find, being right next to the station, and it was pretty nice. To be honest there is not a lot for me to say about Nara as mostly we Posted by jelkin in Bumbling Around Asia | May 7, 2011
