Finding accommodation in Japan can be tricky, and at Tokyo Disney Resort it’s no exception. There is an almost overwhelming amount of hotels affiliated with the resort, all at varying price points and advertising different benefits. Hotels fill up very quickly at Tokyo Disney, so it’s best to make reservations at least 2-3 months in advanced to […]
Japan is known for its many delicious foods, including sushi, ramen and melt-in-your-mouth wagyu beef. While all these foods are readily available for your consumption at Tokyo Disney, they’re not exactly foods worth trying while at the resort. Instead, the most famous, must-try food at Tokyo Disney is something slightly surprising, and something… not slightly Japanese. Popcorn. Tokyo Disney is […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay. Rainbow Bridge has long been a popular attraction in Tokyo, and last week marked its 20th birthday. Spanning from Odaiba to Shibaura, this suspension bridge was built to harmonize with the natural skyline of […]
Visiting a Disney Park in Japan was unlike any other Disney experience I’ve had thus far. I’ve talked about cute-obsessed Japan before, and how from cleaning products to food, there’s no escaping the cute. So of course our visits Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea were no exception.

Tokyo Disney Resort is often regarded as the pinnacle of Disney theme park experiences by many Disney fans, but just what […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of a traditional red sail junk in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour. Junks, traditional Chinese fishing boats, once filled the harbors of Hong Kong. Originally these boats were used for extensive ocean voyages to explore and trade throughout all of Asia. Today […]
Known as Yu Lan, the Hungry Ghost Festival started this past week in Hong Kong. Similar to the western idea of Halloween, Chinese people believe that restless spirits will roam the earth during the seventh month of the Chinese calendar, particularly on the 15th day. During this month appeasements are made to feed these hungry ghosts, as well as […]
Earlier this week I showed you just how expensive one week in Japan can be, but choosing the right accommodation can help keep costs down. Accommodation will likely be one of your largest expenses and Japan offers a wide variety to choose from, so make sure to explore all your options. Here’s a look at some […]
Anyone who has ever been to Japan, never has anything bad to say about it–except for the price. But is Japan really all that expensive? Johnny and I went to Japan a few months ago for a total of seven days. Before our trip even began, we decided we would record every expense we made no matter how small, […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is overlooking Shinjuku, Tokyo at night. Shinjuku, is one of the 23 wards of Tokyo, and it is most known for entertainment, shopping and business. It’s home to some of Tokyo’s tallest skyscrapers and the busiest train station in the world. Each day […]
