I awoke just in time to catch the opening ceremony of the Otaue-Shinji (rice planting ceremony) at Sumiyoshi-Daichi. This annual Shinto ceremony was recommended to me yesterday when I went to pick up a subway map at the info desk. Even after being here for two months, it was still the first traditional-culture event that I’ve had the opportunity to witness. [read on]
Yesterday was a wake up call. I think I’ve seen enough shrines, temples and historical artifacts from Japan. Sightseeing is wearing a bit thin, but every experience with the current culture has been most exciting and has appealed to me most. Every day that passes, my visa expiration inches closer and I still haven’t been to Kansai to see the famed cultural heart of Japan. So I decided to say goodbye to Nagoya. It has been an extremely friendly and welcoming city, but I’ll just have to come back someday when I have more time. [read on]
I returned to Nagoya, feelin’ fresh with the new haircut. But I’ve been getting bored of the same shirt I’ve been wearing for the last few months, so I was eager to find a new one. Osu is the district renowned for vintage/used clothing shops and other cheap shopping, so I set off in that direction. [read on]
A popular day trip from Nagoya is the nearby castle town of Inuyama. Inuyama-Jo is the oldest standing castle in Japan, and was declared a national treasure. That sounded interesting enough to justify a ¥1000 round trip. [read on]
Mihye and I spent the next few days relaxing in the mountains. With the exception of a few clear hours that we had to climb Koyodai for sunset, it poured rain the whole time we were there. It was actually very pleasant to have no agenda and simply spend our time talking, eating Naoko’s delicious food and imbibing cheap wine we brought from Tokyo. All this free time also allowed us a perfect evening to fully enjoy Yurari. I’ve been there before and mentioned this onsen in previous posts, but it never really got the attention it deserves… [read on]
Goodbye Tokyo! The plan is to stop back at Mt. Fuji, and stay at the Solar Café for a few days before hitching down to Kansai region. Mihye was going to come along for a short escape from the city, and to finally see this farm I’ve been talking about for the last couple months. I packed my bag, mailed a few gifts home, and picked her up before boarding a bus back to Yamanashi. [read on]
Tokyo is expensive. I’ve been lucky enough to have friends offer places to sleep on quite a few occasions. Other times I stayed in the cheapest accommodations available; internet cafes, hostels, and even bumming it on the metro. I’ve managed to eat a few free meals, but usually have been dining at the most economic restaurants. Most of the attractions visited were either free or fairly cheap. Yet this city finds away to drain my wallet faster than I can feel comfortable with. At least I’ve had a great time, stayed active and thoroughly entertained.
In part I blame the transportation system. The Tokyo Subway and JR Lines are extremely efficient and by far the best way to get around town without a motorbike. However, they are also fairly expensive. Hopping from one side of the city to the other on a regular basis has ripped my budget apart. I also blame the vending machines. They are everywhere imaginable, offering a selection from ice cold electrolyte water to hot coffee in a can. It is too easy to succumb to whim and drop a dollar here and there to satisfy instant cravings. Yet, after all I still managed to stay longer than anticipated. [read on]
After the excitement this morning I really didn’t feel too comfortable with my original plan to pass out anywhere public. I called Kanako, and she offered me a place to crash for a few hours. I boarded a train bound for her section of town, but never made it. At some point I fell asleep on the train and woke up an hour outside of Tokyo. I stumbled around the station for a few minutes before finding another train heading back… where I passed out again.
Disclaimer: Every so often a story is going to come along that will scare my parents and leave friends in doubt of my sanity. For the rest of the world, this means something exciting! Here is one of them.
The day started off fairly unassuming. I showered, washed my clothes, and hung out at Mihye’s while she cooked us another delicious Korean lunch. Eventually, it was time for her to leave for work so I spent a few hours catching up on email and blogging at an internet café. By the time darkness set in I was well rested, refreshed and ready for a night of partying. I took the opportunity to spend time with a couple friends that I had been neglecting for the last week.
