After our Lunch in Kita-Senju we made our way to Harajuku. Harajuku is one of my favorite parts of Tokyo, though I have to confess I haven’t been around an awful lot (which I plan to change now that I’m here to stay). It’s probably THE best known place in Tokyo for young fashion lovers…
Kita-Senju is the transition point between Saitama and Tokyo even though Tokyo officially “starts” some stations before. It’s the meeting point of five different lines, the JR Jôban Line, the Tokyo Metro Lines Hibiya and Chiyoda, the Tôbu Isesaki Line and the Tsukuba Express, which makes it perfect to transfer between lines. Even though sometimes…
On my first day here in Japan my husband promised to buy me a new phone so I would be able to keep in touch with my loved ones and be reachable in case of an emergency (though I’m sure he thought that I’m much more likely to get into some sort of trouble 😉…
Though we still have a temporary home with friends here in Sôka we will also move to a place here so I can already show you a little bit of my new hometown Sôka. Sôka is a medium sized town in the outskirts of Tokyo, belonging to the prefecture Saitama. It has about 240.000 residents…
Here I am, at 3 in the morning and I can’t sleep anymore, but still feel quite rested after only 4,5 hours of sleep. Because I just love to take pictures of my food let’s take a quick look at the flight yesterday. Dinner came quite quickly after we started and I was really good,…
24.03.2015 I’m finally sitting in a plane to Japan and I feel both sad and elated at the same time. I just had to say my last goodbyes and that really wasn’t easy. But let’s rewind a moment and take a look at the last weeks. Before I could get really started with the apartment…
My first visit to the Tokyo Tower was not ideal for the view because of fog that crept around the town, but I was impressed nevertheless. I’m looking forward to visit again (and take some better pictures ^^)
I’m sitting on the sofa in the guestroom/study of one of my best friends and contemplate the last two days. I always say “one of my best friends” because I always had two. All three of us have a name starting with M so let’s just call us the 3M. We hve been together since…
First seen on Sumikai… If you have ever been to Japan there is a big chance that you already know the popular store Donki (short for Don Quijote) or have at least seen one of them. At Donki (ドン・キホーテ) you can get everything! From stationary over household goods and foods (specially snacks) to Make-Up and…
First seen on Sumikai… The Kintaikyo Bridge, Symbol of Iwakuni in the Yamaguchi prefecture, spans the Nishiki river and is unique in its construction. The five-arch bridge was built in 1673 by Kikkawa Hiroyoshi, the third lord of the Kikkawa Family who had their residence in Iwakuni during the Edo era. The Kintaikyo connects the town…
