Just a warning, Japanese computers are really hard to use... this one also appears to have its timezone set to Spain, so all the times for these last few posts will be off. Oh well!

On the journey onward from the onsen yesterday (one where we managed to just get every last bus of the night, by sheer fluke) we arrived at kawaguchi-ko, portal to Mt. Fuji. The weather had been pretty crap all day and we were considering binning our plan ...

So you've probably noticed the last 4 posts or so just appeared in one go - we've been WiFi-free since we left Tokyo so I've been drafting my posts on my iPhone, so hopefully when I find some free WiFi they'll all pop up together. They should be in chronol...

We've just seen Chris off at Goten-ba station as we prepare to bus hop to Nagoya! Still haven't slept, I think we're either trying out a capsule hotel (more on them layer) or a Manga (Japanese comic book) store overnight section (we're told they have adequ...

I'm writing from the 'tenoyu onsen' (see title) which is a very nice onsen, or Japanese public bath/spa, in Miyashita. For a reasonable 1600¥ (~£10) your given your towel, flannel, a toothbrush set and a razor and ushered into the spa area. Onsen can fee...

I love staring at the t-shirts they have here, written in English, but obviously have very little meaning. I can only imagine what it's like for Eastern people in Britain![^1] [^1]: Looking at the nonsense we have on our T-Shirts in their languages

Time to move away from Tokyo and so far quite tricky! We've chosen to travel to Hakone, a renowned beauty site for Japanese and foreign tourists alike. This is a bit of an issue as it's high tourism season… In fact at this very moment we're in what appea...

Wow! Today has been another amazingly busy day, I really don't know how we're going to top this! An early start, in order to clear out of the ryokan (luxury I'm sure we'll miss!), but still 8:30 so hardly bad! A quick metro ride to kamata to store our bag...

Oh. My. God. An incredibly busy day! Definately a high standard set for the rest of the trip, but especially fun because we met up with 愛！ (Ai is one of our friends from Nottingham who we used to play Capoeira with regularly, though she's now moved ba...
