Hello my fellow travellers! This morning I said my goodbyes to Ryosuke and thanked him for his kind hospitality, I've had an absolute blast the two evenings that I've spent with him. Since he'll be busy for tonight I'll instead stay my last night in Tokyo with a German guy, Christian, who lives in Minato.

A Small Swede in the Big World

I'm a small Swede that simply just love to travel. I haven't been around as much as I'd wish to yet, but my life long goal is to visit all the countries in the world. I still have a long way to go before that mission is accomplished though. I live with my two cats and one spider in Alvesta, a small city outside of Växjö where I try to host people from all over the world as often as I can. If you need a place to stay, just look me up on couchsurfing.org and send me a request. My living I make working as a insurance adviser, it's a soft job with plenty of free time. I try to get out in the ... full info

Thanks
I visited Tokyo for the first time last year, and I will visit again. I spent two weeks there and barely scratched the surface. You blogs have pointed out several places I want to visit on my next trip, namely the graves of Hachikō and Ueno Hidesaburō - and his companion - as well as Kanda Jinga.

Thank you! I'm happy that you find them useful. Aye, it feels like everywhere I go in Japan I come out with 10 times more things I want to visit than I had when I went in despite keeping full schedules. =)

Aye, Hachi: A Dog's Tale with Richard Gere and Hachiko Monogatari from 1987. I've only seen the Richard Gere movie yet, but I want to see the original Japanese version as well. :)

Hachikō, the famous Akita dog
Reminds me of Greyfriars Bobby, the dog who guarded his master's grave for 14 years in Edinburgh and a heartrending film was made about it. Yet the story of Hachiko you say may lead to his master's partner's grave to be relocated in May so the three rest together. What a triumph for love and undying loyalty...brilliant.

Hachikō, the famous Akita dog
I've read about Greyfriars Bobby but I haven't watched the movie about him. I think the loyalty of animals are truly astounding. :) And the grave was indeed relocated with representatives of both families attending so now the whole family rests together. :)
