There are many ways of getting around in Japan. Its road and public transport networks, and even airports, are quite easy to access and understand. Some of the ways are faster, some are slower, some are more expensive, and some are cheaper. The best, though, in our opinion, is train – that’s how we were…
Shinjuku is a special ward in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and it also happens to be the spot with the best nightlife in the country. As a major commercial hub with the busiest railway in the world, you know you can find some great spots to sip wine and slam shots, whichever you are…

There’s subtle luxury, traditional Japanese hospitality and culture, incredibly tasty food (kaiseki is something else when you’re in a ryokan)… there are just so many things that I loved about our experience!
