Friday, the day of departure, we made sure to check out very early to avoid the daily traffic jam, or trainstuffing. Because we had quite a bit of baggage with us it wouldn’t be very smart or friendly towards the Japanese to travel by train at high season. We took a local train to Tokyo […]
I think we owe you one last post to tell you about the events of the last few days we were – yes, we are back in The Netherlands safely, although Sybren’s baggage still needs to arrive – in Tokyo Tuesday we headed out to see a few malls. The end of our trip was […]
First of all, we’d like to let you know we are safe. The news will or is telling you about earthquakes in Japan and even one that would have hit Tokyo. However, what we felt in Tokyo was an earthquake with a magnitude less then 2. Spring Sunday Yesterday we went to the Harajuku district […]
Yesterday, 7th of April, we checked out of our hotel in Kyoto. We moved to the main station to put our luggage in a locker. Before leaving Kyoto to head towards Tokyo we would first check out one last shrine. The popular and famous shrine of Inari. The god of better income. To this particular […]
Today we went for yet another walk around Kyoto, only this time, we would have a guide to lead us. Before the tour started an old man walked up to us and asked us where we were from. “Holland”, this made him very pleased. He told us he was happy to finally meet some foreign […]

How we managed to get through yet another April 1st. The day started just as any other day, by waking up. We went to a local 7-eleven and bought some breakfast there. Nothing unusual. With our breakfast in a bag and that bag in our hand we walked to Osaka castle.Before entering the castle we […]
This is the story of how Marcel and Sybren got to the best restaurant/bar ever. But first, let me tell you how the trip to Osaka went. In Hiroshima we had to check out of the hotel before 10.00 and so we did. Marcel got all the trains and trams we had to get on […]
This morning, to our luck, we woke up again. I mean, it would be quite sad if we didn’t. Anyway, after waking up and sleeping in again, we woke up once more. This time we would get ready for quite a slow pacing day. We only had one item on our list, this was to […]
