Whats better than a weekend getaway? With a $92 oneway ticket I hopped down to Okinawa for a fun beach expedition. I stayed in Ishigaki, one of the southern most islands of Japan. I think I was actually closer to Tawain and the Philipines than to mainland Japan 🙂 The low season officially starts after … Continue reading Weekend Getaway
I have never experienced a group a people more excited about Halloween until I arrived in Japan. The fun loving people that roam the streets had been dressing up in costumes around Shibuya & Shinjuku all week, so I knew the main event on October 31st was going to be for the record books. Starting … Continue reading “Happy Halloweeeeeeeen”

Hello folks. The other day I went camping by the lake in Nagano. How was it? It was A-mazing. Nagano is comparatively closer to Tokyo than other cities that would offer you a massive nature exposure. You could take a bus from Shinjuku. It only takes you for about 3 hours, more or less, and … Continue reading Summer Stuff? Yes preaaase 😀
Hey guys, yesterday I went to Meiji Jingu, next to Harajuku's station. As far as I remember, it costs around ¥500 - ¥600 to go to Meiji Jingu inner garden. It is a great place to go to if you want to relax and take your time. After that I went to the shrine (which is … Continue reading Meiji Jingu 明治神宮
