In retrospect, this day could have been put to better use, but what is done is done. Was addicted to the idea of seeing Mt Fuji up close so I elected to do a day of travel. I took the Shinkansen back up to Hakone and bought a Odakyu Fuji Day pass entitling me to unlimited use of all possible mode…

Bon, alors, qu'est-ce que j'ai fait qui vaut la peine d'etre mentionne cette journee-la. Disons que ca a commence en force avec un Remi qui tentait de faire developper ses photos. Trop drole. La fille ne comprenait rien, et moi encore moins. Vous auriez du me voir essayer de mimer que je les voulai…

This was actually my 3rd trip to Japan and I did it because of my japanese girlfriend I had that time. This country is in many ways so different to what Westerners are used to, so mysteriours, that usually visitors either love it or hate it. There's not much in between. I learned to appreciate Japan already during my first trip and I knew I had to come back. China was something completely different. More chaotic, more dirty and more unpredictable. Like the big clumsy brother of Japan.

It was pretty cold.We'd just come from the ice festival.The Diabutsu at Kamakura is around 650 years old.it's huge, but make sure you don't go on a national holiday.

tripping around japan, my home country on holidays throughout the time here.

Well, I was traveling to Yokohama for a long weekend and I read that Kamakura rivals Nikko for beauty and culture, so since I have already been to Nikko, I went to check out what all the fuss is about.  First off, its about an hour ride to Kamakura from Yokohama so it is not too bad.  I w…

Made friends I will never forget and memories I still can't recall. But the one thing I am absolutely sure of is that I had fun making them :)

Here is a report of mij travel to Japan

Just a short train ride from Tokyo is a great beach town. Kamakura has temples, a large sitting Budda, good food, shopping, hiking, beaches and surfing. The hotels are not to expensive but I was just there for the day. The sunset pictures are from Endoshima a short scenic train ride away.
