The Onsen in the storm

JAPAN | Mon, 30 Jul 2018 | By chloebruce | Views [479]

It has rained all day today. Being the UK that shouldn’t be even worthy of mention, but it is the relieving cleanse of heavy rain after an uneasy prolonged heatwave, so with relief I say, it has rained all day today. Whenever it rains now, I mean ... Read more >

JAPAN | Wed, 23 Mar 2016 | By kakimono | Views [604]

On Friday we had a class excursion to Kyoto to make pottery. I love that that's a thing we can do. Not the pottery so much as just going to Kyoto for a class excursion. My parents were notably less thrilled about the entire thing, and advised me to ... Read more >

No Translation

JAPAN | Thu, 9 Jul 2015 | By carlsbad_sven | Views [509]

Some gestures transcend language. I find the best ambassadors come from the general population of any given country. When I was on business in Kyoto one of our party lost his wallet in a museum. He noticed the missing object when it was time to pay for ... Read more >

JAPAN | Fri, 31 Oct 2014 | By nickjackson | Photo Gallery | Scholarship Entry

Japan is a country I’ve always wanted to travel to. I wanted to learn more about the culture, visit the ancient temples and see the beautiful cherry blossom first hand. The latter seemed a good place to start my research as my trip would be timed perfectly ... Read more >

Kyoto, Japan

Our first two days in Kyoto were spent touring around a ton of temples, shrines and palaces. We rented bikes from our hostel, Piece Hostel, for $5 per day and they proved to be a very efficient way to see a huge amount of the city. We biked around for ... Read more >

Visiting the Land of the Sun

JAPAN | Tue, 23 Oct 2012 | By chubipower | Views [557]

My first glimpse of Osaka is a mass of brownish buildings on a vast piece of flat land... curiously tucked amidst mountainous region and weaving rivers. My 6 hour 25 minute flight to Kansai International Airport was the quietest I ever sat on. There ... Read more >

Hunting the Giant (Salamander)

JAPAN | Tue, 3 Apr 2012 | By escape | Views [4333]

I’ve been living in Japan for almost 9 months (sorry I haven’t posted anything until now). It’s a land of great contrasts and cultural complexity that many easily overlook and stereotype. In fact, if you’re not of the right disposition, this ... Read more >

to tokyo and kyoto and…

JAPAN | Sun, 12 Apr 2009 | By itinerant | Views [673]

It isn't so long ago that I went to Istanbul, and although—to enhance my experience—I read Orhan Pamuk ahead of my departure and Pierre Loti while in Istanbul, the memories of the time spent there are fading, leaving behind static images of this ... Read more >

Nagoya to Osaka

JAPAN | Tue, 18 Nov 2008 | By george | Views [3126] | Video

My robotic hopes in Nagoya were sadly dashed by the fact that the museum closed recently due to lack of interest.  I can't believe that anyone would not be interested in a building full of walking and probably talking robots, but there we are.  I ... Read more >
