Ueno Park Sakura Viewing |Hoppy St., Asakusa, Akihabara, Shinjuku!

May 17, 2020 by hollyGS

We woke up and went to the Kombini to grab some food for a makeshift Hanami party at Ueno Park. We got to see the most amazing display of cherry blossoms!!!! We arrived before the big crowds, which was amazing! We walked around the big pond in Ueno Park and saw a lot of stalls set up selling festival foods. We then headed to Gotokuji to try and see the waving cat shrine. This was a bit disappointing because we […]

Nagoya to Tokyo

May 12, 2020 by hollyGS

We woke up at 8:30am and headed to the hostel cafe for a buffet breakfast of toast, egg and riceballs. It was 500 Yen but totally worth it! We checked out at 10:00am and walked to the Nagoya central station to take the Tokaido Shinkansen to Tokyo. The journey took about 1 hour and 45 minutes and was free with our JR pass (as long as you take the Hikari or Kodama trains). (To Book Train Travel in Japan Click […]

April 29, 2020 by hollyGS

We woke up at 7:00am and headed to Osaka Castle on the Osaka loop line. (To Book Train Travel in Japan Click Here) We stopped at a bakery for breakfast once we arrived at JR Osaka Jokoen Station. There wasn’t space for the three of us to sit and eat breakfast together, but the nice ladies next to me moved so that we could sit together. People in Japan are so friendly! We then walked into the Osaka Castle Park, […]

February 22, 2020 by hollyGS

We were able to catch the 11:02am Thunderbird train from Kanazawa to Osaka. We arrived at the station, and gave our passes to the JR attendant, and they issued the tickets for the journey with no issue at all. We cannot recommend the JR pass enough!!!! How to get a JR pass. We arrived at Shin-Osaka, just outside Osaka city, at 2:05pm. To check times for trains we also recommend Hyperdia, it’s an amazing tool! (To Book Train Travel in […]
