Review of Sapporo Grand Hotel

Asahi Beer Oyamazaki Villa Museum Day Trip from Kyoto
Jenny appeared to be on a mission to see every piece of pottery in Japan, but that just might be my viewpoint. I was happy to tag along and see things that I never could have at home. But we had just had a few very busy days and wanted a slower pace, so settled on a visit to the

Ramen Bayashi Restaurant in Narita City

A Day Trip around Narita, not just Planes!
It sure felt like a waste to me to be in Japan on a business trip an only have a partial day for sightseeing. Our colleagues had treated Randall and myself to a lovely dinner and a drive around Tokyo, pointing out such things as the dark shadows of the Imperial Palace, the bright

Naminoue Beach in Naha 波の上浜 Okinawa
Located next to a busy port, with a highway overpass crossing the water, critics claim that Naminoue Beach 波の上浜 in Okinawa is pathetic and not worth visiting. However, the water and beach are clean. The location, just a few minutes’ walk from Kokusai-dori in downtown Naha,
