Japan: Tokyo

A good way to pass time in the liner - photo editing. 

Disneyland & Disney Sea: A truly unique experience, as every Disneyland is different, but more so because of the Japanese people. They love kawaii, so even the fathers and boyfriends get decked out in full Disney gear. No other theme parks in the worlds would have the same feeling, looking around and seeing so many people smiling and covered in Disney get up. 

Lockdown Restaurant: Wow. I dont want to spoil this, but you get your moneys worth and that is all that matters. The drinks are cheap, the food is good, and if you are anything like me you will scream at least once throughout the whole ordeal. Enjoy it. 

Robot Restaurant: This has gotten a lot of hype in Australia recently, and I can see why. Bogan heaven. A sparkle and gold decked out waiting room, then a show with beer and pole dancers riding around on robots. It is hard to explain how great this show is, the food is a let down (a lunch style bento box), but the show is so truly Japanese it makes another must see in my books.  

Japan: Nagoya

My Christmas selfie

As it was Christmas, a time where you really do miss your friends and family while away from them, we didn't really do too much. I think Nagoya was a lovely humble place to stay, but realistically we should have stayed a lot closer to the snow. In saying that the hostel we were in was really homely and made being away for the holidays a lot easier. We rarely left our common room other than for food so I guess this will be a shorter post than usual, enjoy though!

Japan: Hiroshima

The hostel we stayed in - with bunk beds!

I am not going to do an entire recap of our short time in Japan, as you can expect it is very emotionally heavy. I think You could spend a week or so here, as with only two nights were only saw a glimpse into what Hiroshima currently has to offer. Once you hit the memorial center is is really just a case of walking from museum to museum and taking in as much as you can. There are some really frightening images, but the thing that stuck with me is the positive light Japan has put on its past. There is no blame, no regret, just hopes that the future will be a better place.

Bike Riding: One major tip I can give is to rent a bike, there is no better way to get around. I would get one as soon as you hope of the boat, because we got ours from the Honmura area and they were gear-less and a bit tragic, however the ones from Takamatsu port were fully functioning, geared, and well kept.  

Japan: Kyoto

Maiko Dress up: A really great, but I'll be it touristy, way to get to know geisha culture. We opted to skip going outside and walking down the street but that is an option you can choose. You get printed photos to keep and take home, which means you can show all your friends how truly horrible you look as as a maiko or geisha.

Japan: Osaka

A pair of shorts/underwear I got around the Dotonbori area

Osaka Aquarium: A beautiful way to start our trip. Everything about this Aquarium had the essence of Japan through it; the staff uniforms, the ergonomic layout of the tanks and the utterly the adorable souvenir shop. As this was the only aquarium I visit I can not vouch for how well it compares to others throughout the country, but I think that any Aquarium would be amazing to visit. Osaka Aquarium had a 'touch and pet' area, where you could pat mantra rays and other nice and squishy fish.
