So, I am now in Japan and I have been here since the 1st of Sept. Well, as soon as I get to Japan I am told that my luggage was elsewhere. Then after the I take the guy at the airport, who spoke little english, to talk to Taka we find out that my luggage is in Amsterdam. Yeah, how that happened I have no idea. So, I now have no clothes, no underwear, not much of anything. Well, we are supposed to go to a ryokan (Japanese style inn), so I had to buy some new clothes and underwear when we got there. That put a little hole in my spending money, which makes me a sad panda. 

I just have to say that a ryokan is amazing. there were 12 of us total that went.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ryokan that we stayed in was called, Jinya and it was really pretty place. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After getting there, we ate of course, but the first thing we did was go to where an old castle used to be. I can`t at the moment remember the name of the castle or find my little brochure thingy so we will just skip the name. the first 2 pictures are pictures from that place. Here is one more to give you an idea. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This place was huge. Then the next day we went for a drive and went to Tojinbo which is apparently famous for suicides and ghosts. So I was all up for checking it out. After getting there I don`t see how any ghosts could live here… its waaaay too pretty for ghosts. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were hungry so we went to eat there at one of the restaurants at Tojinbo. It was sooo good, but it was a little expensive. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we went to this island…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which was visible from Tojinbo and we hiked all the way around it… it was hot but it was dang sure a lot of fun. After all the hiking and eating we decided to go to the beach. Unfortunately I can only show one picture of the beach due to some skinny dipping because nobody brought swimming trunks. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is the only usable photo I have HA HA. 

This is definitely a condensed version of our trip, and I took over 230 pictures, that will be uploaded to my FlickR later, when I have more time and I am on my computer. I will talk to everyone later hope you enjoy the pictures. There are lots more to come. Tonight we will go to Kyoto and then tomorrow I will go to Nagoya. I think that is the plan at least  HA HA.
