Travelling in Japan

Last week we were privileged and had a car to travel, but we are now on backpacker style and using public transport. 

So far we've been on a bullet train (Shinkasen) to Hiroshima, tram and ferry to Myajima. Then took a "standard" train back. Today we've been in another tram and are now in a high speed ferry.

As it is quite a touristy place (Hiroshima), most have had some kind of english (either in maps, information of next stop or both). Walking also has featured high on this list as it is a cheap alternative and allows to see the real city (and also get lost in it).

We shall see what awaits us in Matsuyama! Hopefully it is a bit off the beaten track.

  1. Escrevem 3 palavras às quais damos grande significado : " real city", "get lost" e "off the beaten track". O tempo é grande inimigo delas.

  2. Pois, apesar das 4 semanas me terem parecido muito, cedo percebi que não. Temos de ficar muito pelo Japão mais "batido" com algumas incursões a locais onde só quase vemos nativos. Numa próxima vez logo se poderá escolher zonas mais delimitadas e menos badaladas.
