Apple picking at Hirosaki Apple Park

Hirosaki Apple Park was not on our initial list of places to visit in Japan, but our friends Roberto and Eliza gave us the tip and we don’t regret it. The day before at Hirosaki Castle had been really pleasant, and our day at the Apple Park combined with that to make this trip to […]

Hirosaki Castle and Fujita Memorial Park

Hirosaki Castle in Hirosaki Park is one of the main attractions in the city, not only because of the enormity of the park but because of the beauty of its gardens and buildings. You feel totally at peace and connected to nature while walking around the property. Noah was the only one to break the […]

The fascinating Kyoto temples and gardens

By now we have realized that, with so many Kyoto temples, gardens, historical houses, as well as other important landmarks to be seen,  Kyoto is the ideal city in Japan for exploring a world of rich and fascinating history. We had a glance on our first day, but by now we can confirm that the […]

Our visit to Miyajima and Hiroshima

Hiroshima was not in our initial plans of places to visit in Japan, but upon our arrival in the country we started organizing our trips better and were able to find a day to visit this lovely city. We had purchased the rail pass with the company JR Pass for exactly 14 days, and wanted to […]

Luck You townhouse, our experience in a Ryokan

Luck You townhouse, a traditional newly built Ryokan in Kyoto, gave us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in Japanese style while in Japan. Up to now we have stayed in hotels, hostels and guest houses around the world, each one better than the last, but being in a traditional house of the country we were […]

Kyoto first days

 Even before arriving in Japan we heard that Kyoto was perhaps the most attractive city in the country. It is a cute town where visitors can find anything they wish for in terms of culture and tradition. Within just a few hours we were fully immersed in all the aspects of Japan that you hear […]

Last days in Tokyo before exploring the rest of Japan

The next days in Tokyo were just as pleasant as the first ones. We had more time to visit a bit of the city, enjoy the Oeshiki Festival, but there are a lot of things to do in Tokyo so unfortunately we had to leave quite a bit for the end of our trip in […]

The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon by Hulic, our experience

The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon by Hulic was our home in Tokyo. Three nights in this elegant yet modern hotel was a treat on our visit to this amazing city. The hotel itself, located in the popular and historical area of Asakusa in the northeast of Tokyo, is very new. It was opened in 2012, but […]

First days in Tokyo and Japan with JR Pass

Japan, and of course Tokyo, was the destination that I wanted to visit the most along with Nepal and New Zealand. Unfortunately the last 2 will not be possible in this trip, but they are on the top list for the 2nd world trip in few years’ time. But we are in Japan… so we […]

Ibis Styles KL Fraser Business Park, our experience

One of the things that I loved about the ibis Styles KL Fraser Business Park, and the same could be said for any other ibis Styles hotel anywhere in the world, is the vivid color, conviviality and stylish design. I remember regular ibis hotels always had nice design and decoration with red and grey colors, but during […]
