On my way from Osaka to Tokyo, I wanted to spend 2 half-days visiting Takayama. I ended up losing half a day when I left my JR Rail Pass and my Kindle reader on the shinkansen train before getting off at Nagoya Station. After I got off the train, and as it was closing its doors, I realized what I had done.
Thoughts After 500 Days on Round The World Trip
A quick look back, thoughts about long term travel, and a rough plan for the next 2 years.
Visiting the Old Capital City of Kyoto
A beautiful city with lots of historical sites, and some strange sex shops.
Temple Living on Mount Koya
The most memorable sightseeing place I visited during my 3 weeks in Japan.
Returning to Japan Later in the Year, and Learning the Hostel Business
When I arrived in Tokyo a week later I had already made up my mind, I would go back to Japan from mid-November to mid-January, and volunteer at the Traveler’s House in exchange for a private room (not inside the hostel)
