Where to stay in Tokyo

Michela — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 07:32:00 +0000

The choice of accommodations in Tokyo is as vast as the city. Which, may I remind you, is the largest in the world. A frightening amount of hotels, guest houses and “special accommodations” are scattered over an extremely huge area. Forget about finding, quote, “a centrally located hotel from which to walk/easily get around the [...]

Michela — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 07:30:02 +0000

Included among Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2024 for the culinary category, Fukuoka is the gateway to Kyushu, the southern island of Japan. A vibrant and modern city, where the unmistakable smell of ramen hits you as soon as you turn the corner. I’ll be honest: as a city, Fukuoka doesn’t get me so much. [...]

Visit Nagasaki, the bridge between Japan and the West

Michela — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 06:30:49 +0000

I admit it, Nagasaki was never at the top of my list of Japanese destinations to visit, but once there, I discovered a truly unique city, with a strong international influence despite the small number of foreign tourists, and with incredibly kind people eager to chat. Undoubtedly, the first thing we associate with Nagasaki is [...]

When visiting a country, there’s often a desire to grasp its essence and immerse oneself in local traditions. Observing people, their mannerisms, and seizing every opportunity to ask questions become second nature. One of the finest ways to truly delve into a local culture is by partaking in a typical cultural experience of the country. [...]

From April 13 to October 13, 2025, Osaka is hosting EXPO 2025, with the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”. Having seen EXPO Milan in 2015, I didn’t want to miss the chance to visit this one too. We had a hotel night in Osaka that we’d won in our company’s end-of-year lottery and [...]

Visiting Osaka: what to see and do in the “kitchen of Japan”

Michela — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 06:30:07 +0000

Chaotic, bustling, a bit flashy… that’s Osaka to me. Japan’s third-largest city, just 40 minutes from Kyoto, is as far removed as possible from the refined elegance of the ancient capital and diametrically opposed to the modern capital, Tokyo, where everything appears impeccable, orderly, almost cold and sterile. Osaka, on the other hand, is warm, [...]

What to see and do in Sapporo, Hokkaido’s biggest city

Michela — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 07:30:54 +0000

Although Hokkaido had recently started to intrigue me, Sapporo was certainly not the destination on this island that inspired me the most… and indeed, even after visiting it, I can’t say it’s a city I’d want to return to over and over again, as is the case with Kanazawa, for example. However, on an itinerary [...]

Matsumoto: visiting the castle and Yayoi Kusama’s hometown

Michela — Sun, 02 Feb 2025 07:30:00 +0000

Japanese Castles have an undeniable charm. Unfortunately, only a few original castles were spared from bombings, fires, and earthquakes. While reconstructed castles can still be impressive, the thrill of visiting an original Japanese castle is truly unmatched. Among these rare original castles is Matsumoto Castle. Matsumoto, a town nestled in the Japanese Alps, is mainly [...]

Mini-itinerary in Hokkaido in Winter

Michela — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 07:30:59 +0000

This year, my company truly outdid itself by organizing the bonenkai, the year-end party, in Hokkaido, specifically in Sapporo! Three days of company closure, with flights and hotels covered, plus the option to extend the stay over the weekend (flights included, but hotel at your own expense). Naturally, I took full advantage of this opportunity [...]
