We hopped on the Shinkansen for our last bullet train in Japan, we had loved all our train journeys in the country and we were sad that the super-easy travelling was coming to an end! Our last stop was Japan’s third largest city…Osaka and we had just about 24 hours to see the city. Covered shopping streets, 808 bridges and some dodgy areas Although there wasn’t much we wanted to see in Osa... Read Full Entry

We saved for 3 years and then went Hoff to travel the world. Chris Columbus and Magellan eat your heart out...do you reckon other people will have already discovered the places we are going to? You bet! About Us Neil, originally from Hartlepool, UK and Donna, originally from the Wirral, UK have known each other for 19 years. We bought a house, got cushy jobs in Nottingham and always had a passion to travel and see what more was out there in the big wide world (sounds corny or what?). The opportunity came when we were both made redundant and given nice r... full info

Farewell Japan
You've seen so much in your time and we've loved traveling along with you. Loved the experience and can't wait to explore Japan ourselves. How long have you been there in all? I think I will like this neat and tidy country. Also looking forward to the food.

Farewell with sad faces
Hi MJ and Dave! We did see a lot but we also had to cut down a lot from our original list (just gives us an excuse to go back!). We were there for just on 3 weeks in total. If you are a neat freak (like me, Donna!) then you will love the order. The food was great too. Thanks for reading, we are glad you enjoyed them! x

The Kit Kat shop!?!
Lots of people have told me that Japan would suit my personality (I suspect some of them weren’t being complimentary), but I have to agree that the order, efficiency, politeness and cleanliness you have talked about is very appealing. Donna I get HAngry too - Andrew has learnt to recognise the early signs and knows when to shove food or drink at me to avert possible grumpiness. Loved following your Japan adventure - thanks for letting us armchair travel with you guys. :)

Japan is an OCD country!
Hi Ren and Andrew! Oh the order and efficiency were a joy...for an OCD like me (Donna), it was amazing and therapeutic! I'd say living in SE Asia is great aversion therapy for OCD ;). Neil is good at recognising the hangry signs too! Thanks for reading and we are glad you have enjoyed armchair travelling with us! x

Thanks!
Thank you for documenting your trip to Japan! I stumbled across them when googling trip reports and have enjoyed reading them. We came back from our first trip to Japan a month ago and like you despite only spending a couple of weeks there, we really miss it. Its a country that gets under your skin! I loved that it was such an organised country as well! We learnt lots from your earlier entries before we left and liked reading the later ones since we got back. Thanks again :)
