the eastern hills of Kyoto at dusk
Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), Higashiyama District, Kyoto
"If I now in Japan could be anywhere, it would be along the eastern hills of Kyoto, at dusk, as the bells ring in the temples, and the sky is blue-black, and as much older Japan comes from behind the cover of the new, behind the main temple in Nanzenji, say, with monks in the lower punch vanish on tasagare (or " Who's there ") hour.
"a big part of me, to be honest, would Naoshima as an epicenter choose Japan as pure and distilled and modern which takes these hyper contemporary space me back to the classic emptiness and sharpness and intensity of a 10 . century tatami room; But Naoshima looks a little like what could be found in Greece or Big Sur, California. The eastern hills of Kyoto, thick with temples and spirits and a sense of wilderness that was in a thousand years could be in one another city or country. "

Chichi Jima, remote island
" If I now in would be Japan, everywhere I could go to the island of Chichi Jima, at the southern end of the Ogasawara island chain.
"without airport and a 25-hour ferry ride to connect it to Tokyo, Chichi Jima is just across the secluded place in Japan - so far, in fact, that from Tokyo always takes longer than going to South Africa. The island itself is a sleepy away, with snorkeling, hiking and beaches
"It also has a rich history. It has suffered the early 19th century by a band of American and Polynesian adventurers and ne'er -do Located fountains, pirate attacks and internal feuds before to be more than a century absorbed by Japan. Descendants of the original inhabitants still live on the island, where they are known by their Japanese neighbors as the "Westerners." Hills of Chichi Jima are also littered with the Second World War debris, including downed American bomber. The next island is big neighbor Iwo Jima, site of one of the bloodiest battles in the war, and chichijima escaped barely a similar fate.
"But that's all ancient history now. Chichi Jima is a truly relaxing holiday in an otherwise crowded nation, and a real gem for those who enjoy nature."

Gero Onsen, Hot Springs Resort
Japanese onsen (hot springs)
"If I could be anywhere in Japan, my favorite place is a small onsen hot springs spa resort called Gero Onsen. It is located in the Japanese Alps, south of Takayama about one hour.
"The hot springs here are making famous soft and supple your skin. There are many onsens in the city. Most hotels, they will have, and there are a few public onsens which is very nice. A river flows through the city and so many of onsens will overlook the river and mountains.
"Gifu Prefecture is famous for its regional cuisine, the Hida contains Gyu , the marbled beef. Another local dish that I always do when I is visit Hoba Miso , which is a large, dried magnolia leaf spread with a sweet miso and usually mushrooms and leeks, grilled on the tabletop. Soba is also a local specialty, so I try a bowl, to have it during the visit .
"part of the charm Gero Onsen of travel is the train ride between Gero and Nagoya. The railway tracks along the river and the views are running great. And after soaking in the onsens , and eat the local food, I always leave Gero Onsen relaxed and satisfied. "

Life Supermarket, Tokyo

"the place I would prefer in Japan is to be the life of the supermarket in Nakano, Tokyo. This is not a specialty or gourmet grocery store. It's an ordinary neighborhood supermarket, in a typical west Tokyo. However, I am referring to life as "the biggest supermarket in the world" because it is so much of encapsulated what is great about eating in a small cellar in Japan.
"The product is eerily beautiful (and tastes as good as it looks), the flesh is marbled than you find on most skilled butchers in the West; and the candy section is exhilarating as confusing as it is. you can stock your pantry with major Japanese ingredients here for under $ 15 or, stock, if you do not go sweets to cook planning to grab some yakitori, cucumber, and Hi-Chew.
" Anyone who visited Japan to visit a supermarket "

" I have to Kinosaki Onsen town say. from the moment you get off the train are (where your luggage at a small hut deposited and magically appears in your room), it is nothing but blissful relaxation. dozens of beautiful ryokan to choose from, counting dinner with many courses, onsen in the hotels and scattered all over the city.
In the evening we sat in our robes and chatted with the Japanese tourists to drink locally brewed beer in a cafe on a windy, cobbled street. On the day we rented bicycles nearby woods for a hike and a surprising view of the sea and the coast. "
