Our last hours of Japan

We are back in Osaka, it is the last evening of this years summer trip. Our Friend Kimiko has come from Kyoto to say goodbye to us and take us to a sushi restaurant just close to the hotel, thank you for that Kimko.

It has been a very nice experience to travel around in Japan and just now I feel a bit sad that it is over for now, but anyway, for us in Hong Kong Japan is not far away and we can always come back to explore more.
For others who wants to visit Japan on a trip, the best advice I can give is to apply for the Japan Rail Pass. This gives you unlimited access to most of the Japanese rail system, and to the fantastic "Shinkansen" trains, which connects most of the major cities.
They are comfortable and very fast, about 300 km an hour. When I get home I will post the link where you can apply. Only visitors living abroad can apply and get this train pass and you need to show your visiting visa stamp in your passports to get it at the station.
The prize can seem overwhelming when you see it for the first time, but I can assure you; it is worth it.
There will be more when I am back home, first I have to digest the best sushi experience I have ever had.
