It’s Day 4 in Tokyo. Today, I would be moving my “barang barang” (belongings) to Hakone, a hot spring town located about two hours’ train ride from Tokyo. Check out this post if you like to include a mountainous destination not too far from the very busy and populous Tokyo. I highly recommend Hakone as a destination because it offers […]
Hey all, I’m back with Day 3 (PM) itinerary. Having spent the morning exploring Ginza, I was back at my base in Akihabara – a place known for its electronics shops and Otaku culture. I would be doing a bit of shopping and lots of eating in Akihabara. In fact, you’ll see me savoring the best Tonkatsu I’ve had in my
This was my final day based out of Akihabara, and my plan was to shop around Ginza and Tokyo Station. You’ll also see me travelling to Shinjuku to collect Hakone Free Pass, which I would tap on for all my travelling needs for the next 3 days.

After a fruitful morning enjoying the sights at Asakusa, we are moving on to Ueno to see what this district offers. Ueno, an area located in the same NE region of Tokyo (and near my base in Tokyo) is definitely worth visiting if you enjoy park, temples and street food. Before we proceed to Day 2 (PM) itinerary, read these
Hey there, check out Day 2 of my Tokyo travel! You’ll see me splitting my time equally between Asakusa and Ueno districts, both of which are located near where I stayed in the North-eastern part of Tokyo (@Akihabara). To be honest, I was surprised to find myself having so much fun in Asakusa, a place I’d initially contemplated skipping. Before
Yay! I’ve finally completed another solo trip, this time to Tokyo, Japan. Check out my 9 Days Tokyo Itinerary and see the popular places I’ve visited such as Shinjuku, Shibuya and Asakusa. I also did a short trip out of Tokyo and spent 3 great days in Hakone, a beautiful onsen resort town. In this Tokyo travel series (of which
Looking to do some real hiking in Okinawa? How about Mount Katsuudake, a mountain that takes just 30 minutes to get to the summit. Psst, this place offers one of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever seen. You’ll be blown away by the 360-degree sweeping view of Nago city! Update (Jun 2022): This post was first published in Sep 2019,
It’s been a while since I last wrote about my overseas travel. Thought I shouldn’t let Covid-19 stop me from sharing my Osaka story. I’ll continue from where I left off, which was Day 2 when I spent an afternoon at Osaka Castle. For better continuity, you may want to check what we did earlier in the day: Day 2
Let’s continue with our Osaka Day 2 itinerary and have a ride on Tempozan Ferris Wheel, as well as visit a mall next to it, known as Tempozan Market Place. I’ll also share other attractions you can visit in the western part of Osaka. For better story flow, you may want to read about what we did earlier in the
It’s Day 2 in Osaka and we would dedicate the whole day to an Osaka City Tour. Specifically, we would visit places that are reachable via the subway. The morning started with a visit to Namba Yasaka Shrine which happens to be the cutest shrine I’ve been to in Japan. We would then make our way to what turned out
