I don’t get to travel as much as I used to, but all travel posts go here!
One weekend, my mom decided to rent a car and explore Itoshima, a place that she’s wanted to go ever since she heard about the oyster huts. As the navigator, I found a really good blogpost by Fukuoka Now that we (somewhat) followed. And in an even greater stroke of coincidence, the car rental company… Read More Exploring Itoshima! (Part 1)
Because my mom and brother are here, I’ve been going out a little bit more than normal. So one day, we managed to go to Yusentei – a garden located somewhere in Fukuoka. We knew about it because the tourism portal kept recommending it, but getting there was pretty difficult. There are no close trains… Read More Yusentei Garden (友泉亭)
I’m back! This week somehow is my presentation week (luckily I’m not actually speaking, just part of the team), so I’ve been rather busy with our analysis and helping brainstorm how the presentations should go. And asking the other teams lots of questions :p Anyway, let me just finish the Sasebo recap. After our cruise,… Read More Sasebo Part 2 – Kujukushima Aquarium+Food
My mom and bro came to Japan last week, and for the weekend, we decided to go to Sasebo. Our main purpose was to go apartment hunting, but we managed to squeeze in an afternoon of touring! And due to the many, many photos, I’ll be splitting the post into two parts – Part 1:… Read More Sasebo Part 1 – Kujukushima (九十九島)
Are you ready for some picture spam? Because I went to Dazaifu with a friend to see the autumn leaves and obviously I took lots of pictures! (ok, only about 20 plus, but still!) This was the ticket that we took: It contains the tickets there and back, free umegae mochi (which come to think… Read More Autumn Leaves at Dazaifu
This is technically my belated birthday post haha. For my birthday, it rained the entire day, which meant that I couldn’t go to Yanagawa as planned and ended up spending the day in the city. So, I decided to visit the Hakata Machiya Folk Museum. The museum is a small but lovely place, good for… Read More Hakata Machiya Folk Museum
Finally, the third (and last) day of my ゼミ合宿 recap! The last day is always a “travelling back” sort of day, so we only went to two places. Well, one location and two places. Karato Market (唐戸市場) Karato Market is famous for its fugu (I think?). At any rate, it was decided that this would be… Read More ゼミ合宿 Day 3: Karato Market and Shimonoseki Aquarium
Time to continue with my gasshuku recap! The morning of Day 2 was spent studying, but shortly after eleven, we left for Hagi. Hagi is this really small, traditional-looking town, and it’s absolutely beautiful. Hagi (萩) First, we went to go see a furnace because: It’s part of the World Heritage Site. And it’s part… Read More ゼミ合宿 Day 2: Hagi (萩) and Akiyoshi Cave (秋芳洞)
Hey everyone! Sorry for being so absent this month – It’s been rather hectic. After I came back to Japan, I immediately left for my zemi camp and came back only yesterday. So I have quite a lot of things to tell you guys, which is another way of saying: RELEASE THE KRAKEN POSTS. Ok,… Read More ゼミ合宿 Day 1: Mojiko
I’m back from the Tokyo trip, and it was… eventful.

I have been wanting to go to the Tea House for quite some time… Read More Aoyama Flower Market Tea House (Kichijoji)
