Ticking Tourist Sites
After checking out of my 'recovery from jet lag' accommodation I headed in towards Earl's Court to check into my new digs. I decided to book a hotel closer in for my last few nights as there were some things I wanted to do closer in and with leaving in a few days time...
Landing in London
After 3 planes in about 26 hours I landed in London and started to make my way towards where I was staying. I arrived just before 7am and my check-in wasn't going to be till around 3pm. I slowly started to figure out the trains to catch to get where I needed to go,...
Moments In Melbourne
After making my way on the Hello Kitty train to Osaka airport I started the journey back to Melbourne in a Pikachu plane. I decided to book my flight with Scoot to save some $$$ and had a long overnight stopover in Singapore. As in, I arrived at midnight and my flight...
VEGAN EATS: KYOTO
Kyoto has so many vegan options, it's incredible. As this was where I spent the most time 10 years ago, I really was able to see just how many more places have become available. There were a couple options last time, but nothing like there is now. If you look at Happy...
Kyoto
After checking out of my disappointing accommodation I headed over to the new place I had booked into and left my suitcase until I could check in properly. I explored a bit of the area I was going to be staying in and found my bearings. Last time I went to the Manga...
VEGAN EATS: Hiroshima & Hyogo
I figured I would bundle these two prefectures together as I only ate out once in each location. But both of these meals were fantastic and definitely worth talking about. NAGATA-YA (HIROSHIMA) You can't visit Hiroshima, and not have Okonomiyaki. Nagata-ya came highly...
Himeji Castle
On Friday I left Hiroshima and went to Kyoto where I am staying for the rest of my time in Japan. Once I arrived, I got something to eat and just went and did some work at my accommodation. Unfortunately I really didn't like the place that I had booked. sadly this was...
A Day In Hiroshima
From Yamanouchi I made my way to Hiroshima. I did visit here 10 years ago, however it was a brief as Miyajima was our goal destination that day and visiting the torii and deer. As this was when I was with my parents, whom on their previous trip did the full Peace Park...
Snow Monkeys
I had a big day of travel as I made my way from Aomori to Nagano. I had booked a few nights in a Ryokan in Yamanouchi so that I could go see the snow monkeys at Jigokudani Yaen-koen. After arriving and checking in I went for a little walk to the kombini to grab...
VEGAN EATS: AOMORI
I didn't eat a lot out in Aomori prefecture, even though I was there for a few days. I actually just kept to konbini meals. This was a bit of a stay to try to catch up for a few days, save money, and not spend lots. It was nice to just chill out, I was meant to check...
Aomori
After checking out of my hotel I left my bags and went for a last little walk around before it was time to start catching trains. I just wandered around the side of town I hadn't ventured to so far. I had about an hour so it was nice to go for a bit of morning stroll....
VEGAN EATS: HOKKAIDO
It's been amazing to see just how many more vegan places there are in Japan now. Definitely a lot more options have appeared over the last 10 years. I managed to come across some great places in Hokkaido to eat, and also made do with konbini meals. LOHAS (SAPPORO)...
