Traditional architecture in Japan

When I was in my 20's, my colleague from work came back from a trip to Japan and he showed me the beautiful architecture of the traditional styled buildings in Japan. And ever since then, I wanted to visit Japan and stay in one of those beautiful places. 

If I go to Japan, I need at least one night, where I am basically sleeping on the hard floor. Where they provide a thin mattress and have a Japanese tea ceremony, eating Japanese food. I want the full experience.  

The temples, are also stunning: 

And the landscape is beautiful. When I was school aged, we visited a Japanese zen garden created within the gardens. I can't remember where this was or even where it was located, but I can imagine the Japanese zen gardens are just so peaceful and awe-inspiring and just make you speechless, no matter the season.

This is part of the reason I want to go to Japan, not just for the entertaining events or cool Pokemon plushies, I want to visit the heart of Japan and see it's true beauty.

Disneyland in Japan

Image
Image by GraphicMama-team from Pixabay Disneyland in Japan is the one / top place I want to travel to with my family. I have always wanted to take my family to Disneyland and why not visit Japan at the same time?  My questions for travelling to Disneyland in Japan So I have some questions, like, when travelling on rides, are the actor's/spokespeople talking in Japanese or do they also speak in English?  I feel like this is an important question. If people came to Australia, it is in English. So it makes sense if the language spoken is in Japanese.  So I found this:  Tokyo Disney Resort – Travel guide at Wikivoyage  and apparently, the main language spoken at Disneyland in Japan is Japanese. However, most signs at the park are multilingual.  Ok, so I definitely need this as a reason to keep learning Japanese. Also, what sort of attractions besides rides are there? I believe Harry Potter is a big theme in Disneyland. I love Harry Potter, so is this true? Ok,...

Welcome to my new blog

Hello and welcome, My name is Mel and I am excited to start this new blog related to Japan travels. I personally haven't visited Japan yet, but I am keen to take my family there in the next ten years. (Seems like a long time, but other goals trump this one at this stage). However, there is nothing wrong with a long goal. I can learn the language and may be even the wording to read while over there.  I have started to learn the Japanese language, such as Watshi wa Mel des. I am Mel and Arigato - Thank you. Obviously, I need to learn a lot more and ten years should give me a wealth of time, I just need the commitment to keep learning.  Have you ever travelled to Japan, please comment below with your most favourite location to visit.  This blog is going to be everything Japan that I want to see when I travel and hope you might find some cool discoveries as well.  Please follow my blog, plus check out my other social media pages: Subscribe to my YouTube channel: littlemi...

Where to learn how to speak Japanese

Image
^Please note, this blog post uses affiliate links. This means, I receive a percentage of the sale from the seller. I spent about three months, on and off learning to speak (not read) Japanese. I signed up to www.Japanesepod101.com and received easy and not too long Japanese online classes. What I liked is, you could select what the English words were and what the Japanese words were.  I found the year subscription price, quite affordable, if broken down how much I would be spending a day. For example, I could use the online classes any time of day or night, for a long period or a short period.  I did like how they spoke in English and then in Japanese. I also liked that they had the normal easy starting off Japanese language learning, such as numbers and introducing yourself. But what I really liked is you could also learn full sentences. I like to learn full sentences, because I feel like I can say cooler stuff than just trying to say one word.  If for Christmas or the N...
