I was back in Kamakura today for another tour. The weather was a bit on the wild side: it started overcast, then it rained, then it got sunny, then it rained with raindrops fine as mist. Then, at the Big Buddha it started raining in earnest 🙂 A real downpour. We still went to our final destination - Hokokuji Temple to see its beautiful garden and for a bowl of delicious matcha. To sit at the tea house, looking at the green bamboo forest in front of it and listening to the sound of the rain was a beautiful experience. Here are a few photos of currently very green and heavily soaked in rain Kamakura. The leaves are just beginning to change their colors and green is still the color of the day

Have you ever been to Nikko? This picturesque mountain town is the home of one of Japan’s most beautiful World Heritage sites. The Toshogu is the resting place of the first Tokugawa Sh**un while the Taiyuin is the shrine where his grandson, the third Tokugawa Sh**un Iemitsu was berried. Both sites take your breath with the beauty of their shrines and temples that is enhanced by the serenity of the ancient forest surrounding them. Join me in this series of short videos to experience some of their magic.

A fun fact about Japan - it's not a big country but it surely is a long one. Superimposed on Europe it stretches from Berlin to Madrid and beyond! Thanks to that it has several climate zones - from cool and snowy winters in Hokkaido to tropical beaches in Okinawa and the little islands stretching down to Taiwan. As far as nature goes Japan seems to have it all!

I design trips in Japan for an Australian company and sometimes I guide tours from these trips. Below, I am sharing the review a client wrote about my Tokyo's Best Kept Secrets tour. I love meeting my clients in person and being of service, giving an enjoyable experience is deeply fulfilling to me. Thank you, D!
It was very lovely to spend the day with Makayla! She is a wealth of knowledge about Japanese history and discovering all about the Temples and Shrines was such a pleasure. Her support in helping me understand the subway system helped the rest of my trip so much! Highly recommend!

From today’s adventures, this time in Asakusa that was full with visitors even in the early morning. In order: the Nakamise street leading to the Sensoji Temple; a young boy cooling himself in a jet stream of cool mist (it’s very hot and humid here,) a cool stream with koi fish behind the temple and the most amazing shaved ice with matcha, sweet Azuki beans and condensed milk toppings

Beautiful light show at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building today
Beautiful light show at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building today

A tip for those visiting or living in Tokyo now: right across the Metropolitan Government Building there is a fun event featuring traditional Balinese music and dance. It will continue until August 4. If you go there later in the afternoon you may want to stay until 7:30 pm and see the Godzilla Attacks Tokyo light show projected on the Metropolitan Government Building itself. I am posting the poster for this event in the comments. Enjoy!

The Kaiseki dinner we had at Tokyo’s Tofu-ya Ukai was a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. A highly recommended experience but be sure to reserve a table in advance because they are often fully booked

The 3D Shibuya Shiba doggie - we ca patiently waited for 10 minutes to see its turn on the board 😀

Early spring at the Sankei-en gardens in Yokohama

At the Observatory of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building: anyone can play the Yayoi Jusama painted piano for 5 minutes and delight the rest of us with their music. I find viewing the magnificent city stretching in every direction under the accompaniment of beautiful music especially moving

More plum blossoms and sunny skies: greetings from Yokohama!

The plum trees at the Imperial Palace Gardens in Tokyo are blooming and filling the air with their sweet scent. It’s time for plum blossoms viewing 😊

Inamuragasaki, a spot between Dnoshima and Kamakura on the coast south of Yokohama is a great place for viewing Mt. Fuji on a clear day. Today we did not see the mountain but we still greatly enjoyed the view of the ocean with Enoshima in the distance and the weathered pine trees growing on the rocks
