What is the travelling for me?
It is the shining sun, the sea;
The golden sand which looks like beads;
The blue-eyed sky and tender breeze...
What do I see when I close my eyes?
A milk-white ship with two red stripes;
The limpid clouds at the dawn
And the sun that rises all alone...
And when the twilight falls from height,
The night appears from heaven’s gate.
I see the moon in magic light
And stars that sparkle in the night.
That’s what I’m looking for in my dreams,
And they are my inspiring beams!
I want to see it, to behold
My travels all the world enfold!

Second half of Kyoto Osaka trip
On Thursday, Keiko and I went to Kyoto. I didn’t mind going back because there were a lot of things that I didn’t get to see on Tuesday. The first three pictures are of us in front of some of the things we visited on Thursday.
When we got back to their place Keiko’s mom had me put on one of her kimonos for fun. She had three summer kimonos and I got to pick the one I thought was prettiest.
On Friday morning I took the Shinkansen train back to Tokyo and was really lucky to get a really great view of Mount Fuji.

First half of the trip to Kyoto and Osaka
So let me catch up a bit... I experienced last Sunday how relaxing an “onsen” is. Onsens are places where people can bathe and often they are made right where there are natural hot springs. Apparently the one we went to was this kind of natural one. Since everyone goes around in their “birthday suits” (as my Dad says) I have no pictures to show from that.
Monday, I left on a night bus for Kyoto, Japan. It was much nicer than any Greyhound, by the way. I mean I got two seats to myself that reclined quite a bit, and I was even given a generic cheap pair of slippers. .... I spent Tuesday in Kyoto. There is so much to see in Kyoto. My favorite probably was the Zen garden at the Ryoanji Temple. Then, in the evening, met one of my friends, Keiko, who I met in Hamburg, Germany. (She was my neighbor across the hall in the “Studentenwohnheim”.) I spent Tuesday night, Wednesday night and Thursday night at her’s and her mom’s place. They live way out in the outskirts of Osaka, so Wednesday we went around and saw some of the local things in the region, including the nice view of the river and the Buddha carved into the rock. We also saw some of the local temples. I don’t really remember much about them. They weren’t the ones that most tourists go to probably, but they were really nice places to walk around in. I mostly just enjoyed experiencing the atmosphere there.

Friday’s Nabe Party
There is one good thing about visiting friends in Japan in the winter time: during the winter friends get together for nabe. “Nabe” is the word for a particular cooking pot, and a nabe party is when a little burner and the nabe are in the center of the table and the stew is cooked right there with everyone sitting around it. So we had a Nabe Party last night here at Chihiro’s place. In the course of the evening, we made like six or seven pots of soup. Each time the soup was slightly different. It was really tasty with things like cabbage, other vegetables, tofu, meat. Everyone was super friendly and we had a really nice time.

Day in Kamakura
I spent Wednesday in the city Kamakura outside of Tokyo. I wanted to go on a sunny day, and I assumed that it wouldn’t be a problem since every day before I went (and after for that matter) was sunny and warm. However, it was a colder, overcast day. Since I had already bought my day ticket I went anyway. The train ride from Tokyo to Fujisawa wasn’t too interesting, but the ride from Fujisawa to Hase station was really nice because a lot of the time the train travels right along the coast line.
The first place I went to was Hase-dera Temple.
After that I went to the great Buddha. It was really impressive because it’s immense. I think it’s something like 44 feet tall, it’s made of bronze and was cast in 1252. Even on a rainy day in January there were still some tourists around. I can’t imagine how packed these places must be in other seasons.
I also went to the Hachman-gu Shrine, but, unfortunately, it was kind of getting dark and the pictures didn’t really turn out that well.
Back in Tokyo at Chihiro’s place I tried this food that she has really been wanting me to try (because she says no foreigner usually likes it, and she wanted to know my reaction.) The food was fermented beans. The thing that grossed me out a little was that it was so slimy, but the taste wasn’t too bad. Apparently these beans are hard to get a hold of at the moment because they have many recently discovered health benefits. The last pictures on the left side are of me with the beans and me with the cat, (whose name I can’t remember.) By the way, during the meal I stuck my chopsticks into my rice bowl, which told me that it means bad luck. It’s better to lay them across the top of the bowl or on the table on a little chopstick rester thingy.

Day Four in Tokyo
I didn’t take as many pictures on this day as the day before, but still there are some good images from Toyokawa Inari Shrine. This shrine was really nice, because it wasn’t touristy. I like the paper crane picture. My guess is that they are an offering.
Day Three in Tokyo
This day we went to the Detached Palace Garden and one of the seafood stores in the Tsukiji fish market area.
Next place to see was Senso-ji Temple area.
Now I have pictures of a Badger statue, which generally indicates that that particular building is a drinking establishment. Statuettes of cats with one paw raised were a really common sight – they are a sign of welcome.
Wonderful Chihiro as always made different dishes and had me try them. Since she’s from Okinawa, I have tried some things particular to Okinawan cuisine as well.
Day Two in Tokyo...
On Sunday Chihiro and I went to the house museum of a famous Japanese sculptor. I took some pictures from the house and garden.
Then we went to the famous Kabuki-za theater. Kabuki is an old kind of theater unique to Japan, where the actors are all male, and they have elaborate costumes and make-up. I wasn’t allowed to take picture inside the theater, but I took some of the exterior. We bought tickets only for one act because an entire Kabuki play lasts a really long time; just the one act was probably an hour and a half.
