清水寺 Blue Water Temple
This is the hub of day trippers to Kyoto!
The streets up to the temple are very steep but there are lots of tea shops and traditional stores where you can pause to catch your breath.
The temple is a World Heritage Site - not one nail was used to build it. The views a…

It was my birthday and my friend Leah who had already been living in japan for some months, organised a dinner at 'Kagaya', an izakaya in Shimbashi. She had read about the place on the net and it sounded very entertaining.
Upon descending the stairs from the street and entering into the rather mo…

So not a specific hotel; just the hotel chain.
Toyoko Inn is spread all across Japan and is very reasonably priced.
Most places are around 5500 Yen for a single, 7500 Yen for a double.
Rooms are pretty small, but are spotless and have a large, comfy bed.
You get a free basic breakfast …

The 10 storey escalator ride takes you to a very interesting spot which I believe to be Kyoto's make-out central. Worth the ride up!
The ground floor of the Isetan Department Store (JR京都 伊勢丹) has what might be the city's best food hall.

The Uokane is a really great restaurant. It has GOOD pizza, and I don't mean good by Japanese standards (which are low... mayonnaise and corn low) I mean good by international or American standards. They use gourmet cheese and toppings, and now, thanks to yours truly, you can even get a slammin' H…

Japan can be quite a rat race. Anyone who`s ever visited has probably spent a considerable amount of time in either Tokyo or Osaka.
For those looking to escape concrete jungles and enjoy some of the natural splendor of Japan, a trip to Sado island in Niigata prefecture is the perfect retreat. Do…

So I've heard of an icebar, but we have nothing of the likes in the US, this place is pretty darn cool, it's a bit small, holds maybe 30 people at most? It costs 3500Yen to get in (~$35) and that includes the cape, one glass (each additional one is 800Yen) and one drink (each additional is 1200Yen).…

Respect and beauty are dominant things showed in a tea ceremony. I was so lucky I could experience it at Bikoen Tea House, Kyoto. It is a tea shop at the front and a house at the back. We were received by the hosts, an old man and his son. That time, the son was the one who became The Tea Master.

In former times, Japan was closed to foreign countries other than the Netherlands and China. Japan has been westernized since the Meiji period(1868-1912).

This was my first Toyoko Inn experience. The last time I went to Japan I had no room booked in advance and ended up paying quite a bit for something last minute.
A lesson learned.
So this time I had read about Toyoko Inn in a semi-trusty guidebook, and thought I'd give them a go.

Having said that, it dwarfs the statue of liberty... even with its pedestal. The inside is bea…
