This will be a short post but it definitely deserves its own section. One place none of us had been was to the Mount Fuji area. The best way is to spend a few nights in one of the towns, but we didn't have enough time for that in the schedule. So we took a … Continue reading Fuji-san

Let’s Tokyo!
Spring break is here… time for the final trip that had been booked long ago. And another repeat place on this trip - that's how much we like it 🙂 I can't start the trip report off without mentioning that this will be the first time for me on an intercontinental flight in economy class … Continue reading Let’s Tokyo!
The End of Our Awesome Trip
Well, here we are at our final Shinkansen journey of this trip, in Kyoto Station. Now that we had one of our big luggages with us, the Green Car was indispensable as there is a ton of overhead space for luggage and no need to worry about reserving seats that have access to a luggage … Continue reading The End of Our Awesome Trip

Welcome To Shinjuku
Wow, only a few weeks have gone by since our last trip. We were so busy that it barely felt like we’d unpacked when we were packing again and getting picked up by an Uber on a beautiful morning to head to the airport. After a quick and painless check in and security (we were … Continue reading Welcome To Shinjuku
