It was our last day of our trip. I woke up at 6 a.m. and enjoyed a nice and hot bath. I was planning to have the curry at our favorite café for lunch, but they only open at 11:30 a.m., and we could not make it. We left the mansion around 11 a.m. andContinue reading “Trip to Japan (21) last day in Japan trip 3/31/2026”

My day started by taking out the garbage at the trash station. It was our last trash day of this trip. While my daughter was still sleeping, I walked to the orthopedics clinic. Last night while I was receiving a massage, the massage therapist strongly suggested me to go see a doctor and have theContinue reading “Trip to Japan (20) MRI and doctor’s diagnosis 3/30/2026”

In the evening, we went to the lymph massage. This was our third time to have a massage from the same massage therapist. The massage therapist was very nice and kind, and good at massage. During reconvening massage, I was snoring that I could hear my snoring by myself while sleeping. 

In the morning, we went to the DYI store which has become my daughter’s favorite store. While we were walking down the shopping street, she found a dress shop where they had lots of her favorite designed clothing. She purchased several dresses, blouses, and skirts. In the evening, we went to the planetarium and watchedContinue reading “Trip to Japan (18) Planetarium 3/28/2026”

We woke up early and went to the hot spring close to our mansion. I mistakenly chose the wrong shuttle bus and arrived at a wrong destination, so that we needed to take a taxi to the hot spring facility. Other than that, the hot spiring experience itself was great. There were not many visitorsContinue reading “Trip to Japan (17) Natural hot spring visit 3/27/2026”

My day started from taking out garbage to the trash station in front of the building. We went to the Himeji castle. It was a request from my daughter.

My day started taking out 2 different types of trash: plastic trash and can/bottle trash. My cough and throat were calming down, and my daughter slept in to recover from food poisoning.   We went to the hot spring facility that was still new to this area. They had a free shuttle bus from theContinue reading “Trip to Japan (15) the movie Kokuho 3/25/2026”

I woke up feeling sick. My throat was swollen and painful, and I could not say a word. I heavily cough with phlegm that made me tough to normally breath.   I had an appointment with the one person whom I had met in zoom app and exchange some conversation via emails, but I neverContinue reading “Trip to Japan (14) lesson to listen to my body 3/24/2026”

My day started to taking out the garbage bag to the trash station in front of the mansion. We had lunch at the hotel that I still had enough points to pay it off. In the afternoon, we went to the Japanese garden. When we got out from the subway, it started sprinkling. We walkedContinue reading “Trip to Japan (13) Japanese garden visit 3/23/2023”

I didn’t have any plan for today, because we were originally planning to stay one night in Wakayama. It was like a surprise gift for us to spend all day without any plan. We decided to visit the herb garden in the northern mountain area. We took a cable car to get there. We enjoyedContinue reading “Trip to Japan (12) herb garden 3/22/2026”
