My first time in Japan in Tokyo and Hiroshima and I loved it !

Always love coming through Narita it's such a nice airport. Showers and all! But I'm only here for a few hours..

Je sais pas si qqun va lire ce commentaire parce que j'ai pas mal conlu la derniere fois... mais comme j'ai du temps a perdre a Tokyo, Internet est toujours un bon outil.  Au pire, je me parlerai toute seule! Pour vous faire un portrait de mon vol de retour... J'ai pris un taxi vers l'ae…

My work travel blog from Sept-march. I think I put a little over 16,000 miles on this little old ship in the few months I am on it. Stoped at a couple new places and went back to a couple old places that I love!

Where to start with such an amazing city??? There is so much to see and do that there is no way I could ever fit it into one story or article. Tokyo Tower, the bars in Roppongi, to the Buddhist Temples, its all amazing!! Most of my time in Tokyo was spent enjoying the night life while I was…

In March 08 I had to go to Yokosuka on business, but the trip also afforded opportunities to visit Tokyo and join Jenny for leave in Jenny's birthplace--Okinawa. My objective in Tokyo was to ride the biggest Ferris Wheel in the city (Japanese: 展覧車 (tenransha) or 大観覧車 (daikanransha) or (kanransh) at Kasai Rinkai Park. Our time in Okinawa was magical, with good weather, beautiful scenery/sunsets/beaches, and reunions with many friends from our time stationed there 2003-05.

After seeing the anime movie "Spirited Away", who wouldn't want to visit a Japanese bathhouse? Honestly, can anything be better? You see a dragon river-spirit, maybe a giant baby. Or, at least, get really clean. Since I was visiting Tokyo, it was on the top of my list. When I entered one bathhouse …

I have just been to Tokyo for the 10th time and it seems every time I visit I find it a truly fascinating place. If you look beyond the layers of buildings and trains you can find beauty in it's people, food and surroundings. I visited for the first time a place called Kamakura which is a beach kin…

Fall in love with exotic foods , exotic culture and the well mannered beautiful japanese people..almost cant make it back to home..lol

The transition from Osaka to Tokyo was the smoothest one to date. Meaning we actually found our hostel on our first attempt for the first time to date. We had about a 15 minute walk from the closest train station to our hostel (only because we were too cheap to pay 2 bucks for the subway), but the …

This is from an old xanga entry: japan is one of the most diverse countries i've ever been to. in every district/area that we've visited, there's been a different crowd of people. the harajuku girls definitely scared the crap out of me. a lot of the japanese actually look chinese, and they are so …

Arrived in Tokyo having had 0 hours sleep that night and on the back of a night bus the previous night so I had had little sleep. Did manage to see Mt Fuji popping out of the clouds from the plane though which ticked that box. I got to the airport, through immigration and I got my stamp, and am wel…

ORD-NRT, UA 881, 747-400, 39A Good News - Nobody was sitting in the middle seat on my flight.  Bad news - due to a plane change with a different configuration, I lost the economy plus seat that I had payed for and ended up in regular economy.  Now I need to find some time to request a re…

After finding my hotel, there wasn't much time left in the day to do much.  I wandered over to the Palace and walked around inside until closing time.
