Travel in Japan

Read my first post of this “On The Run” series at: On The Run – Yokohama to know why I’m all excited about doing morning runs in Japan. ^^ I didn’t really have running gear suitable for the colder season and buying new ones would be such a waste since I’m only using it a few times so to keep me warm, I just put on my Uniqlo heatech shirt and another shirt on top it and my usual capri pants

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! あけましておめでとうございます *^-^* Hope that 2012 will be a good year for everyone.

The beauty of JR Pass, allowing us to travel at almost obscene mileage to god knows where in Japan without worrying about any extra cost and we can pretty much plan our trip on a whim. We scrapped plans to visit the neighbouring island near Takamatsu

Raimie loves haunted houses and visit them we must if we go to any theme parks or carnivals. Being scared silly can be a lot of fun sometimes. I should’ve posted this up in time for the Halloween, but I only got the idea after reading Cocomino’s post about Temple during Festiva l and him mentioning about haunted houses

Any plans trick-or-treating tonight with the kids? Or painting the town red in your costumes? Then again, Japanese doesn’t need Halloween to go out in costumes if you take into account those cosplayers.

It’s Halloween Time!

One of the highlight staying at a Japanese Inn/ryokan for us apart from enjoying the hot spring/onsen is sleeping on futons. Futon consisted of shikibuton (under/bottom mattress) and kakebuton (comforters/quilted bedcover). Different type of futon are used depending on season (and personal preference).

We seem to be enjoying Japanese food more often lately here in KL now that the trip to Japan is just two months away. Didn’t seem to care about going to any Japanese restaurants after our vacation last year and now; here we are eating Japanese food every week! I guess it’s a way of our tummy anticipating the upcoming trip! It was Sushi Zen at Gardens Mall one week. The boy of ours craved for some sushi.
