Osaka Bay

The crazy things travelers do... They country-hop, island-hop and even prefecture-hop!!!

U see, I was on a mission since last year to complete all the 47 prefectures of Japan. This trip I was hopping in the last 3 of the 4 left on my list. All because my niece asked me a simple question! How many prefectures have u visited in Japan?

I started counting and unbeknownst to me I have actually completed 3/4 of them without me keeping track! Well, let's just say I started young... My first time to Japan was when I was 11! But I ended up many times to major cities and attractions.

Last year, I began to consciously visit areas I have never been to which took me to some prefecture like Ibaraki, Tottori and Shiga. It wasn't hard, just some special careful planning and a JR pass. That translates to some 7 visits in 9 months of 2015! A first for me. My record in the past was around 4 visits to Japan per year. Wasn't difficult as I could stopover each time I fly to Canada or US.

But last year was exceptional. And this year I had the first one spanning from Dec to Jan which took me to Fukui in early January. In Feb just I visited Tokushima, Kochi and Shimane. So, 1 final prefecture which is Miyazaki which I hope I will step foot on v soon!!!

That completes Japan. I completed China in 2011. Next, USA! Another 26 states!

So, you see... I am kinda crazy traveling trying to make sense of life and seeing as much of the planet and meeting as many people before I have to leave it!!!

The room was very small for two people. No drawers. No access to one side of the bed. Otherwise hotel was lovely but for long stay far too small.
