Gaijin adventures in the land of Wa. Posted by Jan Hicks. Now that my husband and I have been visiting Japan for a number of years, we’ve been to quite a few places. You’ll find information about where we have been so far on this blog, but when friends of ours decided to go to Japan for Christmas and asked for some tips on what to see and where to stay, I put together a mini guide. If you bear that in mind when you’re reading my guide, you’ll be okay. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Takamatsu (高松) | Japanophile

https://nihonnozasshi.wordpress.com/2015/06/29/takamatsu-高松

Gaijin adventures in the land of Wa. Laquo; Gion Corner. Posted 29/06/2015 by Jan Hicks in food. Our 2015 holiday to Japan was the best one so far, for me. It even outstripped our honeymoon! We headed off the main island for a week on Shikoku (四国). Our main destination was Matsuyama (松山), but to break up the journey from Kansai Airport, we had a couple of days in Takamatsu. Our hotel was located pretty centrally, not far from the main shopping arcade. After we’d freshened up after our train journey...

Gaijin adventures in the land of Wa. Laquo; Takamatsu (高松). Blue Tengu Sanjusangendo Townhouse, Kyoto. Posted 29/06/2015 by Jan Hicks in food. One of the reasons I wanted to stay in Takamatsu. During our 2015 trip to Japan was Ritsurin Koen. I had read about it. On Michael Lai’s Retiree Diary blog, and really wanted to go as a result. Outside the garden was a statue to local politician Bukichi Miki. Raian), and a haiku stone that I can’t recall the significance of! We entered the garden. Instead, we trot...

Not Enough Cheese: Let's Go!

http://artslondon.blogspot.com/2012/07/lets-go.html

Nani o Shimashita Ka? Artslondon goes to Japan. Wednesday, 25 July 2012. No time for blog updates recently. That’s because I’ve been frantically busy as I prepare to leave Japan. On Saturday I will be taking the shinkansen up to Tokyo. There, I have 4 days to wallow in nostalgia and stuff myself senseless before boarding my British Airways flight back to London. I’m ready to go. Ikimasho….Let’s go! 31 August 2012 at 15:13. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Final Visit To Hiroshima. Words of a Melody.

Not Enough Cheese: December 2007

http://artslondon.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Nani o Shimashita Ka? Artslondon goes to Japan. Friday, 28 December 2007. A Fine Establishment Takes The Piss Out Of Its Punters. Going to see stand up comedy is one of our favourite ways to waste an evening. And we like. Which is a shame, because, for a while now, we’ve been planning to write a piece about how much we like Banana Cabaret, but if they’re liable to take the piss out of their customers then all we can really say is that we recommend you take your business elsewhere.

Not Enough Cheese: February 2008

http://artslondon.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Nani o Shimashita Ka? Artslondon goes to Japan. Thursday, 7 February 2008. A report on our visit to the Estorick Collection is forthcoming. 1 We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness. 2 The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt. 3 Literature has up to now magnified pensive immobility, ecstasy and slumber. We want to exalt movements of aggression, feverish sleeplessness, the double march, the perilous leap, the slap and the blow with the fist.

Not Enough Cheese: Rain that lasts for 24 hours

http://artslondon.blogspot.com/2012/06/rain-that-lasts-for-24-hours.html

Nani o Shimashita Ka? Artslondon goes to Japan. Tuesday, 19 June 2012. Rain that lasts for 24 hours. No love of science-fiction or knowledge of the previous films is required. I’ve also rented My Neighbour Totoro from Tsutaya. I sometimes feel that I’m the only person in Japan who hasn’t seen it. I’m doing my research Ghibli-wise as we will soon be visiting the Studio Ghibli museum near Tokyo and I want to know a bit more about the films before I go. I’m not gonna be running tonight…. Dont Mention The War.

http://artslondon.blogspot.com/2012/06/trip-round-islands-shodoshima.html

Nani o Shimashita Ka? Artslondon goes to Japan. Monday, 25 June 2012. A Trip Round The Islands - Shodoshima. We climbed a gorge and made moody poses! Or the Brick Lane Beigel Bake. Sic) but it filled a hole nonetheless. We made the wise decision to rent a car, which gave us a lot of freedom over the weekend and meant we could do some cool drives along the coast and pretend we were in Thelma and Louise. I was Thelma of course, because K Chan never lets me be Louise. We also took a drive along the coast to...
