Travel in Japan

We are guilty of letting our son have a go at his Nintendo DSi every time we are on long train journeys in Japan. That’s the only way to keep him from the need to run around or bother other commuters. Raimie can be such a nosy boy when nobody is paying attention to him.

What would a visit to Hiroshima be without visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and a stop at this A-Bomb Dome? I’ve posted up about Sadako Sasaki and the Children’s Peace Monument earlier, and if you missed it, do visit and read about it

We visited Hiroshima Peace Park in 2008. When we reached the Children’s Peace Monument, we saw brightly colored paper cranes everywhere and this monument. The photo wasn’t good, I know, but on top on the bell-like structure is a statue of Sadako Sasaki holding a crane

Travelling around Japan, Zaini and I did not really use our credit cards, but we found convenience in using Suica & PASMO prepaid card for certain transactions. Suica and PASMO cards can be used to pay the fare for virtually all trains in Tokyo and can be used for JR trains, subways and monorails, buses and can be used for purchasing of items at convenience stores, kiosks and restaurants in and around railway stations not to mention at vending machines too! A very useful and handy card to have with you. Our Suica & N’Ex card that we got upon arrival at Narita Airport

Going to Ultraman Club, in Namco Wonderpark Heros’ Base in Kawasaki, Raimie wouldn’t miss meeting his favourite heroes at any cost! For us, the main highlight of going to any Ultraman themed places is meeting the Ultra Heroes themselves, be it at Ultraman Festival , Ultramanland , Ultraman Stadium , Tsuburaya Jungle or here at Ultraman Club.
