In October my school sent me to Japan for a work conference and I stayed afterwards to explore.
I spent the first 4 nights in Yokohama, where the conference was held.
Yokohama's pretty skyline.
I went on the Cosmo Clock. It was a little nervous -making but allowed me to spy some stunning views.
My hotel had both of these in the bedside table.
After the conference I headed to Tokyo to stay in a capsule hotel.
This iPod was how I turned the sofa into a bed and turned the lights off, etc.
It was extremely clean and included a free breakfast in a shared eating space.
Then on to where I really wanted to go. I took the high speed train from Tokyo to Kyoto. It took about 2 hours. It was not cheap.
This bamboo grove!
These picturesque orange gates.
I stayed in a fairly traditional hotel where I got served a bunch of things I didn't know how to eat. But everything, everywhere I went tasted great.
Homemade mochi made with matcha, or green tea.
A custard filled waffle. Kind of. But shaped like a fish. Yum!
The triangle stop signs.
The hotel gave me a Japanese robe to wear while I stayed with them.
Snip, snap snout this tale is told out!

Comfy!
The world's busiest intersection, Shibuya crossing.
KitKat love in Japan. They had so many different flavors.
