Japan 2018

Japan has great cities, temples and gardens, but what about raw nature? The perfect answer to that is spending half a day at the San Dan Kyo Gorge.

We travel for the pleasure of sightseeing, food tasting and sometimes socialising, but revisiting history’s darkest moments is sometimes mandatory. Hiroshima hits hard and you have to take it on the chin.

Alright. The Kyoto open-air museum was okay, but not necessarily my favourite destination. Osaka provided a most welcome change for a couple of days.

Kyoto was awaiting for me on June 10 for a five-night visit in the former imperial capital of Japan. How did it go?

Let’s wrap up the Tokyo visits with absolute opposites: cute stuff and a violent sport before going to Mount Fuji to look at a spectacular mountain.
