Three splendid train rides that showed me Japan
No, I didn't go on the Shinkansen because it's too fast to see what actually lies outside the train. I went on three really splendid train rides with those rather old cute looking rattlers – in Gumna, Kamakura and Kyoto. Instead of seeing the landscape rushing by, or me rushing through the landscape, these trains go nice and slowly – this is the best to discover the beauty of Japan whilst on the move.

Mount Aso - an active volcano with an attitude
It was my life long dream to go on top of an active volcano. I wanted to see the crater from above. And this is why I took up the trip to Mount Aso, or Aso-san in Japanese. Yet things didn't really go as I wanted them to go. The nature was playing a game on me.

Christmas, snow and a 'secret onsen' – the perfect combination
As an European, my standard Christmas consists of a huge dinner with family, a Santa Claus visit and a bunch of presents. But in Japan things work differently. This Christmas was a special one for me, even by the Japanese standards – my friends and I went to a secret onsen in the mountains and sat there looking at the snow slowly falling from the sky. Perfection.

I've been to 8 Hells. What about you?
On the northern coast of the most South island of Japan is the city of Beppu. It is known as the place to go if you want to have some relaxing time in an onsen, a hot spring bath. The city has onsens in 8 different areas, all with different kind of hot spring water. Here and there one can see random steam coming out of ransom places in the pavement. But most astonishing are the 8 Hells that you can visit, without even going underground.

One of the Kansai business centres - Osaka - is famous for delicious okonomiyaki, its peculiar dialect and gruff manners. I found the first two, but didn't notice any rough manners!
