月 May 18, 2026: Japan 20: The End
And now it’s coming to an end… My flight is from Nagoya, so I’ve looked into the ways of getting there from Osaka. My 2 options were either to take a shinkansen, or take Kintetsu line there. I’ve de…

土 May 9, 2026: Japan 11: Kiyomizu, Pontocho alley
We woke up in complete darkness. Our hotel room has a window that just points to the other wall, so there’s pretty much no view. We closed it for the night, which is why this happened…
金 May 8, 2026: Japan 10: Hakone -> Kyoto, Shinkansen
