Update on how to get to Aso Farmland

May 22, 2017

For the moment, you need to forget everything that I’ve ever written on how to get to Aso Farmland. As of right now (April 2017), significant sections of the train leading to Aso is out of service. Even the Asoboy, that really cute train that I seem to have no affinity with, is now coasting… Read More Update on how to get to Aso Farmland

Studio Ghibli Exhibition in Nagasaki

May 18, 2017

So in the last post, I remembered that I haven’t blogged about the Ghibli exhibition. Which is odd because it was AMAZING and I love Ghibli so normally I share news about it immediately. But better late than never and the exhibition is still going on if you want to visit. The Studio Ghibli Exhibition… Read More Studio Ghibli Exhibition in Nagasaki

Ganbarou, Kumamoto Castle!

May 14, 2017

Back to a brief recap of the Kyushu trip/update on what has changed(: I’m going to skip over the Nagsaki days because: 1. You have already heard (and will hear) a lot about Sasebo from me.2. Not much has changed for Nagasaki since my trip in 2014. There is the Ghibli exhibition going on now… Read More Ganbarou, Kumamoto Castle!

Mifuneyama Rakuen with Totoro and Friends

May 11, 2017

I meant to have this post up during Golden Week but I ended up being so drained that I only got around to writing it today. But Mifuneyamarakuen is seriously way too beautiful! But before I get to Mifuneyama rakuen, I just want to say that anyone who has not tried Starbuck’s American Cherry Pie… Read More Mifuneyama Rakuen with Totoro and Friends

Detective Conan Movie: Crimsom Love Letter

May 7, 2017

Hey everyone! I hope all of you who are in Japan managed to enjoy Golden Week. It’s peak season for Huis ten Bosch so I’ve been absolutely swamped with work! But I did manage to catch the latest Detective Conan movie before Golden Week started so I thought I’d just talk about it today. Image… Read More Detective Conan Movie: Crimsom Love Letter

Should you rent a car in Fukuoka? (+ Yanagawa in Spring!)

May 2, 2017

Time for the first part of the recap! I’m sure all of you have heard TONS of things about Fukuoka and to a lesser extent Yanagawa and Dazaifu by now so I want to focus on something different: Should you rent a car in Fukuoka (or anywhere else in Kyushu)? The answer if obvious if… Read More Should you rent a car in Fukuoka? (+ Yanagawa in Spring!)

Huis ten Bosch Updates: Miffy Cafe, Amazing Cheese Fondue and More!

April 30, 2017

Since I’ve started working at Huis ten Bosch, I’ve gotten a lot of chances (well, it’s less of a chance and more of a requirement) to learn about the latest things related to it. I’ve also had the immense luck of having two groups of friends visit, so I’ve been exploring the park quite a… Read More Huis ten Bosch Updates: Miffy Cafe, Amazing Cheese Fondue and More!

Kyushu in a Week? (An Itinerary)

April 26, 2017
Kyushu One Week Seven Days Itinerary

Alright, time to get started on my graduation trip with my family, or I’ll never get started (I probably won’t be posting consecutively, because I’ve got some other stuff too(: ). Last March, my family came for my graduation, and since they were here, decided to tour Kyushu. And guess who was their guide? (no… Read More Kyushu in a Week? (An Itinerary)

Sakura 2017: Here and There in Sasebo

April 23, 2017

Sakura season is long over and it turns out that I didn’t manage to make it to any spots apart from Mifuneyama rakuen. But, I did manage to take a few photos here and there and thought I’d just share them with you.  First, from near my place: The second is from Sasebo city. I’m… Read More Sakura 2017: Here and There in Sasebo

Sakura 2017: Mifuneyama Rakuen

April 16, 2017

Sakura season was a little late this year, but it’s finally here (and by the time I’m writing this, almost over). Luckily for me, I had friends visiting so on my off day, I was out bringing them around instead of staying in my apartment and trying to become comatose. We ended up visiting Mifuneyama… Read More Sakura 2017: Mifuneyama Rakuen
