Checking in at Beniya Mukayu we were given yukatas upon arrival, but only one ping pong racket. If you put it on the wrong way (left to right and right to left) japanese people might mistake you for going to a funeral. Thus, put it on right to left and then left over right. And don’t forget snapchat (same alias).
This is the first castle I ever entered and walked all seven stairs up to the top. The tour takes from 2 to 3 hours depending on the traffic up and down the steep stairs inside the main keep. Pictures are taken outside and inside the castle. Himeji Castle is basically what you go to Himeji for. And after, you jump on the train to somewhere else – maybe Kobe?

This is one of the most famous temples in Japan – the Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Covered in golden material, it attracts numerous of visitors annually, and yes, it feels like you are walking a marathon in nice surroundings. As a tourist in Kyoto, I still feel like this is a must-see and as it only takes about 15 minutes to do – just do it (Nike has nothing to do with this).
Japan is wonderful! This is from the Meiji Shrine in the Yoyogi park.
