My reason to go to Japan was simple: FOOD. I love japanese food. All of it. Even all the weird & suspicious stuff end up being delicious. I could never live in this country as I'd never stop eating.
I had sushi every day, at least once. I had it for breakfast, lunch and for dinner. Onigiris between meal times and rice crackers for snacks. I also really like Asahi, the local beer, but during the 5 days I only had a few pints. Really expensive in bars and c'mon, if I can get a portion of sushi for the price of one can of beer, it's hardly a competition. I also think that I've had enough beer in the last months and need a break now... Until Alaska...

I did one trip outside of Tokyo, to Hakone. Beautiful serene place where you can do a round trip using trains, mountain railway, rope way, boat and bus. On clear days the view is amazing, as you can capture Mt. Fuji's reflection on the lake Ashi-no-ko. Well, of course it wasn't clear on the day I went there but I still got to see the holy volcano from the train on the way to Hakone before the clouds closed in. In Hakone I had udon noodles and tempura. Oishii!
I also visited the open air museum in Hakone. If all museums would be like this I'd be hanging around in them all the time.
Mullekin tuo toisen foton ateria!
