Japan Trip: Exploring the Pilgrimage Trails in Wakayama 21
Japan Trip: Exploring the Pilgrimage Trails in Wakayama 21
Koyasan, located in Wakayama Prefecture, has been a popular pilgrimage destination for centuries. It is connected to the outside world by a network of pilgrimage trails. Though nowadays, most visitors enter the mountain by cable car, many of the pilgrimage trails still exist and are used by hikers who prefer the traditional approach.
The original main approach to Koyasan is by the Koyasan Choishi Michi trail. This trial begins at Kudoyama Station on the Nankai Koya Line. The trail is marked by choishi (stone signposts) which appear every few hundred meters to guide the pilgrims. Though markers are numbered, it is in kanji characters. The numbers are in descending order with number one at Koyasan. These numerals represent the five Buddhist elements: earth, water, fire, air and void. The entire Choishi Michi trail is about 23.5 kilometers long and takes around seven hours to hike. The time may be shortened by two hours if the journey is begun at Kami-Kosawa or by four hours by starting at Kii-Hosokawa Stations. The hiking trail ends at the Daimon Gate, a two story tall, crimson gate that marks the traditional entrance to Koyasan; however, the markers continue on to the Garan.
A less historic approach, the Fudozaka Trail, leads pilgrims to Koyasan from Gokurakubashi Station, the lower station of the Koyasan Cable car. This steep, paved trail is 2.5 kilometers long and the journey takes about an hour to ascend (the descend takes less time). The Fudozaka Trail ends at the Fudozaka-guchi Nyonindo temple hall.
For a more challenging pilgrimage trail, visitors may select the Kohechi Trail, a part of the Kumano Kodo trail network. The Kumano Kodo trail network is an old set of pilgrim trails which connects Koyasan to the sacred shrines of Kumano. The Kohechi Trail is a long and remote mountainous route. The projected journey time is nearly a week and therefore prior planning and equipment is required.

Japan Trip: Beach, History, and More! at Kushimoto, Wakayama 15
Japan Trip: Beach, History, and More! at Kushimoto, Wakayama 15
Kushimoto is located on the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula in Wakayama Prefecture. This small town has beautiful coastal scenery as well as several interesting museums.
Cape Shionomisaki, located south of Kushimoto's town center, is the southernmost point of Honshu (Japan’s main island). Near the Cap are a shrine and Shionomisaki Lighthouse. Visitors are allowed in the lighthouse and can climb the spiral staircase to the top. Visitors can also learn about the lighthouse and the local history in the small museum located within the Shionomisaki Lighthouse.
Near Cape Shionomisaki lies Oshima Island. It is to mainland Japan by a large modern bridge. The island is home to two small foreign museums as well as beautiful coastal scenery.
The Turkish Memorial Museum is dedicated to a sea accident in 1890. A Turkish ship (the Ertugrul) was shipwrecked due to a rainstorm. When the survivors from the ship arrived onto the shores of Oshima, the townspeople took care of them until they could be safely return to Turkey. This incident marks the beginning of a deep friendship between Japan and Turkey.
Facility Information:
Hours: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Closed: Opened All Year Round (however, it is closed from Oct 14, 2014 to May 2015 for renovations)

Oshima's second foreign inspired museum is the Japan-US Friendship Museum.

Visitors can see an official document within this museum commemorating this event as the first friendly relationship between the two countries.
Hours: 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
Closed: Opened All Year Round
Admission: 250 yen per adult

On the mainland, visitors can see a series of rocks (around 40) dot the coastline leading out from the shore towards Oshima Island. It is believed that these rocks, called Hashikui-iwa, (meaning bridge pillar rocks) were created by the famous Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi. It is said he formed the rocks after being challenged by a monster to build a bridge across the sea. Now a national natural treasure, many visitors come to watch the sun rising over this beautiful, mysterious creation.

Japan Travel: Relaxing and Learning at the Onsen Shiryokan, Shirahama, Wakayama 20
Shirahama, located in Wakayama Prefecture, is a traditional hot spring (onsen) town with a long history. In the past, emperors such as Saimei, Tenji, Jito and Monmu have visited Shirahama onsen (hot spring). And with its close proximity to Osaka, Shirahama Onsen (hot spring) resort is one of the 3 biggest onsen resorts in Japan. Its rivals are Beppu in Kyushu and Atami along the Izu Peninsula.
With the onsen industry being an important part of the town’s history and commerce, it is no wonder visitors can find an Onsen Shiryokan (museum) here. The museum focuses on Japanese hot springs, with displays to explain the science and history of the onsen. The museum is housed in a modern, wooden building with numerous educational exhibits. Unfortunately, the explanations are limited to Japanese only, making it difficult for non-Japanese speakers to understand the displays.
Facility Information
Hours: 10:00 to 17:00
Closed: Opened All Year Round
Admission: Free

Exploring Japan: Cat Alley
Hello all you wonderful people
Join me today as I travel in to Hiroshima prefecture in search of the illusive Cat Alley. An alley that was originally full of abandoned houses until a Japanese Artist who was born in france said, HEY I KNOW WHAT I CAN DO WITH THIS. And thus CAT ALLEY WAS BORN.
*I thought at first that I went into the Cat Museum, I think I went into the wrong museum I think I went into the film museum about movies that have cats in them? MAYBE? I'm as confused as you are on that one.

Tokyo Japan Travel Vlog 2017 EP 3 | meowwchannel
Days 7 and 8 of my trip feature gyozas, an underground food court, old women's Harajuku, Pikachu(s)!
Here's what happened:
We originally planned a two day trip for Kyoto and Osaka but because we didn't realize tickets were so expensive we decided to cancel our plans. Still, we managed to salvage our remaining days in Tokyo!
Day 7 - Our trip was coming to an end but I still didn't get to eat any gyozas yet! So I found a place with good ratings in Shinjuku. It was about a 30 minute walk from our hotel. And boy, was that walk worth it. The gyozas were so good that I managed to finish them even though I had a spring roll at 7 Eleven beforehand. That spring roll was full of veggies and delicious, by the way! Oily but delicious. Afterwards, we went to Atre Kichijoji. Atre is a company that develops shopping malls in train stations. There was a large selection of food and even souvenirs. Unfortunately, we were still pretty full from the gyozas so we couldn't try everything! Then the figure shopping continued (whyyyy) at Nakano Broadway. He definitely did some damage to his wallet there.
Day 8 - The next day we took our chances at Jizo Dori, which is often referred to as Old Women's Harajuku. I was worried about wasting our time by going there since we're fairly young adults. Yes, there were a lot of items that the elderly would love there, including red underwear. But I also found some yummy snacks! The melon-pan was not one of them. I thought it was pretty bland and way too filling. Next, we made a bad decision by WALKING to Sunshine City for the Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo. It was a long and boring walk. But we made it. The mall had a lot of clothing shops and even a Ghibili themed store (yay). The Pokemon Center was swarmed with kids and adults alike. Pikachu even made an appearance with his twin! We came across NamJa Town and bought tickets on a whim for a very lame game of something like bumper cars. At night, I had the most delicious egg drop soup with udon. It's definitely one of my top three favorite food in Tokyo!

Yanaka Cemetery - Tokyo - 谷中霊園 - 4K Ultra HD
If you are looking for something different to visit in Tokyo, I would highly recommend Yanaka, with unfortunately the exception of Yanaka Ginza (Soon on TokyoStreetView). Yanaka is one of the places in Tokyo that has been frozen in time and that could, at least for us foreigners, be a bit weird. Indeed Yanaka is mainly famous for its vast cemetery where people not only come to pay respects to their ancestors and loved ones, but also to stroll or to enjoy a bit of fun with its several kids playgrounds! Yep you read that correctly, Yanaka cemetery hosts a few playgrounds for kids.
With such a vast cemetery you would imagine that Yanaka might also have a few temples worth visiting and you would be right! One of our favorite and oldest temples is the Tennoji (or Ten-noji) featured in this video and its breathtaking copper figure of a seated Buddha created, in 1690 by Ota Kyuemon who lived in Kanda Nabecho.
If it is temples you like, here is a list of places worth checking too!
Nezu Shrine 根津神社 (Tokyo Nezu-Jinja Shrine - 根津神社 - 4K Ultra HD -
Jomyoin Temple 浄名院
Gokokuin Temple 護国院
Daienji 大円寺
Zenshouan 全生庵
But Yanaka is not limited to its cemetery and temples, Yanaka if full of surprises either bad (Yanaka Ginza) or good with some nice little restaurants and very typical old fashion Japanese streets perfect for wandering around.

Japan Travel: Roots of Japanese Buddhism at Mount Koya, Wakayama 17
Japan Travel: Roots of Japanese Buddhism at Mount Koya, Wakayama 17
Mount Koya (Koyasan)、in Wakayama, is the center of Shingon Buddhism. Shingon Buddhism was introduced to Japan in 805 by Kobo Daishi (also known as Kukai), one of Japan's most important religious figures. Kobo Daishi built the sect’s headquarters on Koyasan’s mountaintop. This mountain also houses Kobo Daishi’s mausoleum. And from here, it is believed the Shikoku Temple Pilgrimage route begins and end.
Kobo Daishi wandered throughout Japan for years searching for a suitable place to center his religion. He came upon Koyasan and began construction on the original Garan temple complex in 826. Since then, the number of temples along the streets of Koyasan has grown to over one hundred temples. Here visitors will find the Kongobuji, the head temple of Shingon Buddhism, as well as Okunoin, the site of Kobo Daishi's mausoleum.
Visitors looking for a “temple experience” are advised to visit this area. Around 50 temples in this area offer both pilgrims and visitors the option of spending the night at the temple lodging (shukubo). Here visitors can experience the monk lifestyle of eating vegetarian meals (shojin ryori) as well as attending morning prayers.

Japan Says Dolphin Hunting Part of Tradition
Japan defended its dolphin hunts on Monday (January 20) after U.S. ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy said she was deeply concerned about the hunt where local fisherman corral dolphins in a secluded bay before killing many for meat.
The annual dolphin hunt currently underway in Taiji in western Japan has long been a source of controversy and was the topic of The Cove, an Oscar-winning documentary.
Japan has long maintained that killing dolphins is not banned under any international treaty and that the animals are not endangered.
I believe dolphin fishing is one of Japan's traditional fishing techniques and is carried out appropriately in accordance with the law Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters at a regular news conference in Tokyo on Monday.
Furthermore, dolphins are not within the management of the International Whaling Commission and it is left to the respective nations to manage this resource, Suga added.
We will explain our stance to the American side, Suga said.
Every year the fishermen of Taiji - a small fishing town in Japan's Wakayama prefecture - drive hundreds of dolphins into a cove, select some for sale to marine parks, release some back into the sea and kill the rest for meat.
On Friday (January 17) a rare one-year-old female albino bottlenose was caught and immediately sent to the nearest aquarium after it was herded into nets with hundreds of other dolphins in Taiji cove in Japan's mountainous Wakayama Prefecture.
Keepers at the Taiji Whale Museum would not say whether the two-metres-long (6.5 feet) and weighing 100 kg (220 pounds) albino would be sold or stay in Taiji, but defended the tradition of dolphin hunting.
People are just thinking too emotionally about the dolphins. They want to protect them just because they're cute and clever, Shinji Sakamoto, a vet at the museum, told Reuters on Monday (January 20), adding the dolphin was in good health.
Activists had earlier speculated that she may be blind and deaf.
Members of conservationist group Sea Shepherd, who have been shadowing the hunt since Friday (January 17), have nicknamed the dolphin 'Bambi' after they say she was separated from her mother who is now expected to be killed by fishermen.
People always say albinos live a short life, and because they stand out they get more easily attacked by predators. That's a commonly-accepted theory. So thinking about her quality of life, it's much safer for her to be bought by a place like this, Sakamoto said.
The museum holds regular dolphin shows and Sakamoto said keepers now plan to train the dolphin in timed acrobatics.
But for now the museum has a bigger challenge. Sakamoto says the one-year-old is refusing food, and trainers are having to force-feed her.
Whales and dolphins have been part of Taiji's culture and existence since ancient times. I just wish people from other countries would understand that fact, said Akiko Nakajima, a visitor to the museum who likes to eat dolphin meat.
The dolphin hunting season runs yearly from September to March, the Taiji fishing association said. Sea Shepherd says 176 marine mammals have been killed this season, including bottlenose, spotted, striped and risso's dolphins.
Exact monitoring is difficult, with fishermen erecting tarpaulins over their killing area and blocking access to the cove.

A wet morning as we drive on the streets of Osaka Japan by Arif Herekar
Umeda Sky Building features an open-air observation deck: you're sky-high above the whole city, and with the wind blowing around you it feels quite nice. (Obviously, the location is closed when there's strong wind, heavy rain, or chilly temperatures, so check in advance.)
The Ryokuchi-koen, a few stops by subway from Osaka station, offers the Open Air Museum of Old Farmhouses. Ok... I know that you said that you don't care for gardens and castles, but still this particular open-air museum sports a beautiful scenery and offers a glimpse on how 'common people' in Japan lived in times long since gone.
Osaka aquarium claims to feature the biggest fish-tank in the world. Dunno if this is the truth, but on a rainy day, one can actually sit for hours on a bench just in front of the central, huge fish-tank and forget about time and all (lest not too many families with shouting and screaming kids approach your position).
Another spot for a rainy day might be the Museum of Ethnology, located on the grounds of the former (1970) Expo site. (Admittedly it is nowhere as good as Mexico Cities National Museum of Anthropology - which is the best museum on the whole planet if you ask me - but it still can hold its place methinks)
Mhmm... and since Osaka is also the birthplace of 'Manzai' why not try and grab a ticket for a life-performance:
