A kaiseki of Japanese adventures – Part 2
I arrived at my capsule hotel in Matsumoto late at night. The place was full of business men in their pajamas hanging around the common areas and enjoying the free orange juice. After the usual onsen run and a nice dinner, I went to sleep early in my claustrophobic but very tidy capsule, ready for… Continue reading A kaiseki of Japanese adventures – Part 2

A trip around Kansai
Gliding in Komodo
