I Discovered The Best (& Worst) Things About Cruising Japan

…ee-night pre-stay included in my cruise and even that was hectic. Cruising Japan Challenge #2: Experiencing Japanese Culture An unexpected challenge I encountered on my trip was it took effort to experience and get immersed into the culture. Be ready for that. I found going on a cruise to Japan was easy to get stuck in a bubble. The tours and sites cater very much to tourists and were not within or close to local communities, stores, and restauran…

Kyoto Japan – Tips For Travellers Podcast #229

…which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. It is one of the few key cities in Japan spared major damage and destruction during World War II that wiped out much of Japan’s historical sites. As you will hear, it is an amazing experience and Gary highly recommends you visit it. However, unless you have days (or weeks) you cannot hope to scratch even the surface of what is available to see – and so making informed choices is key – hopefully this episode…

Day 67 (17 March) Nagasaki, Japan Peace Park Nagasaki Japan Nagasaki was an amazing port to visit and a great introduction to Japan as our first stop in the country. The day dawned with bright blue skies and sunshine, and proved to be a warm day for the time of year – reaching around 20 degrees. We had to discard the coats we though we would need out on tour, and many passengers returned to the ship r…

Virgin Atlantic Lounge Narita Tokyo Japan

…trip of a few days, and noted that Virgin seems to have connected with the Japanese traveler as most of the passengers were Japanese (by a large margin). As I write this I am in the clubhouse having just had a great cup of coffee and a bacon/ sausage roll chosen from a surprisingly large menu – and served by incredibly helpful and friendly staff.

It is a large, very dated and beige hotel situated out of the main buzzing centre of town in a suburb full of uninspiring office blocks. It gets a busy and regular trade from people like me staying near…

You’ll find there are lots of festivals around the blossom time, plus more and more ch…
