After resting in Mumbai for a weekend, catching up on sleep, Bollywood news, etc., started making moves for the next phase of the trip. On my travels I threw around the idea of making it out to Japan – seems like a great place to visit and should be safe and easy for me to travel alone. Well, started doing research and things certainly worked out - I’m now aboard an empty Air India flight to Tokyo!
I’m heading there for 8 days which hopefully will be full of sake, sushi, and sights. I’m pretty excited about this. Fortunately, Vans has some friends that are in Japan right now and so we’re banging out an e-plan (get it, a plan over email!) to meet up. Would love to get recommendations, thoughts from all of you on places to go, eat, etc.
My plan as of now is the spend a day in Tokyo, do a day trip out to Mt. Fuji and try to mount it, then head down to Kyoto/Nara for 3 days over the weekend before wrapping up a few more days in Tokyo. I’ve read that transportation is fairly easy and really can’t wait to take these bullet trains (300kmh+) and see how far technology has taken this country. It will be nice to tour a big city again after spending the past couple weeks in the wilderness at the mercy of Mother Nature.
List of things I want to get done:
- Buy kick ass Japanese spunky shoes
- Eat delicious sushi
- Go to a concert
- Watch a sumo wrestling match!
- Climb Mt. Fuji
- Take a picture of a geisha
- Play with fresh, new, cool electronics
