Dear followers, (old and new)
I’m sorry to report that I don’t have any more photos of Japan to upload, so don’t expect any new photos. So this blog will simply be an archive of those photos that I’ve taken. Sadly I will not be going back to Japan any time soon either… However, IF I do get the chance to go back there, this blog will definitely be updated with new photos.
If you wish to continue following me, I have made a blog that is specifically for reblogging anything Japan-related, although those photos won’t be taken by me. Click here if you are interested in following. This is a more active blog so feel free to visit any time. Or click here to view full list of the blogs I own.
Thank you for following and having interest in my photos. Keep on loving Japan!

Hello!
Hmm, it really depends on how many places you wanna visit each day, some days you just wanna spend a whole day touring a Japanese park and a little bit on food, and some other days, you might be want to visit 3-4 places in one day + food. So, I couldn’t really give you a specific number of how much you would spend in a week, it depends on what you want to do during your stay.
And of course, I would highly recommend you stay in traditional Japanese hotel (Ryokan), although it might costs more to stay in these, but it is definitely well worth the price. :) Unless you are going into downtown areas to shop, you will be forced to stay in western style hotels. (there are Japanese-style hotels in downtowns, but they are very expensive).
Thank you very much! And no, you didn’t creep me out. I greatly appreciate these type of messages! :)
Drama-rec time! :)
Here’s a slice-of-life drama, called “Shinya Shokudou” (深夜食堂) or “Midnight Dining”, set in a small restaurant that only opens at midnight til morning. This drama depicts of the lives of the regular customers and the ones that come and go. Each episode has a particular Japanese dish as a theme.
If you like excitement and action and fantasy, this one is not for you, but if you’re looking for a light drama that depicts Japanese day-to-day life in a restaurant, then this drama is for you. : )
Enjoy!
No worries and thank you very much! : )
Most photos are labelled of the city I was in. Very few of them are unlabelled just because I couldn’t remember where that was. ^^”

Drama-rec time!! I hope you guys aren’t bored of this. :P But it’s another way to tell you guys I’m still alive. LOL
Anyways, this drama is called “Kaseifu no Mita” (Mita: The Housekeeper) — literal meaning. Essentially, it’s about Mita, a mysterious housekeeper who is completely unsociable. Her housekeeping work is perfect however, the family hiring Mita should beware that Mita can do whatever the family ordered her to do.. even to kill people.
Basically I just think the story is not so cliched so that’s why I recommend people who likes something out of the ordinary and mysterious.
Enjoy! : )
yo-tsu-ba replied to your photo: It’s garbage day! I just learned that Japanese…
This is really helpful! Thank you so much! :)
It’s garbage day! I just learned that Japanese culture, you have to thoroughly separate the type of trash into different bags and place the bag according to the days of the week for each specific type. Does that make sense? Hopefully I’m right about this. :P
It is interesting though! All the countries should have this system! Not just.. trash vs recyclables!
