After walking around, going shopping, and eating Japanese street food at Nakamise-dori, we headed to the famous Senso-ji Temple, a Buddhist temple found in Asakusa, Tokyo. Founded in the year 628, Senso-ji Temple,also known as the Asakusa Kannon Temple, is the oldest temple in Tokyo. According to legend, Hinokuma Hamanari and his brother Takenari, both …
Sometimes, traveling in a big group can be a test of friendship. Because of the differences in interests, someone is always bound to want to do something that the rest of the pack isn’t up for. Sometimes, every single person in the group just wants to do his or her own thing. Thankfully, there is …
When Mike and our friends were in Japan, we spent our first 4 days in the country in a town called Shin-Okubo, which is known as Shinjuku’s “Korea Town.” Because it is a Korean neighborhood, naturally, tons of Korean shops and restaurants can be found here. To be honest, we weren’t exactly excited about it at …
It’s no secret – Japan is the land of all things weird and crazy. I mean, glow-in-the-dark toilet bowls that play music?! Tell me that’s not weird and crazy!

If you are on a diet and planning a trip to Japan, you better be prepared to throw that diet plan out the window because it would be a joke to visit Japan and not feast on Japanese food. You go to Japan to eat! Tokyo is a treasure trove of tasty treats and amazing eateries, …
If you read Part 1 of my Tokyo Disney Sea blog post, you were probably blown away by the sheer spectacularity of this one-of-a-kind theme park. If you weren’t, you’ve got to be kidding me! Did you not see the photos of those amazing attractions?! The truth is, those photos are nothing compared to seeing …
While preparing our Tokyo travel itinerary, I wasn’t sure if I should include Tokyo Disney Sea. Mike, Eric, Paula, and I went to Hong Kong Disneyland just 8 months before going to Japan.
