How to: DIY Kotatsu

A simple guide to build a heated blanket table with parts you can find here for comfy vibes like in Japan.

Living in the USA

In 2017 I spent half a year in Northern California as an exchange student. Many things were different at first but I enjoyed my time very much. How was it? And what did I do in my spare time?

After the luxury dinner yesterday I retreated to my room in the fourth floor. A yukata and sandals (geta) were prepared for the onsen visit. I made particularly sure to wear it the correct way. After changing I went to the hotel next-door. First, it was a bit strange to walk outside like this, but I was readily joined by other onsen visitors.

Relaxing in the hot spring valley

My third day of my trip also marks the last in Sapporo. Today I departed to Noboribetsu.

Boys be ambitious!

I managed to catch up some sleep and recover from the jet lag, but I still feel pretty tired. When I checked the time I noticed it was only 6 a.m. That way I had lots of time to write about yesterday. For breakfast I had cold milk coffee and Baumkuchen from the local combini.

Sapporo

In less than half an hour I arrived at the central station. In contrast to Nagoya it was cloudy here the whole day and the temperature is below 25 °C making it very pleasant.

Up in the air

Finally, the day I awaited long time has arrived. Time to have a great and enjoyable trip to Japan!

Ready for take-off

Today I had my last of seven exams, now I have free time for three weeks before the next semester starts. As you already know, I will travel to Japan in this time.

Finally, after travelling around major parts in Japan in less than three weeks I will arrive in Tokyo, the capital.

Japan Trip Itinerary – Chapter 4: Chūbu

After touring through Kyushu I will head back to Tokyo for the last few days. I will not take the direct Shinkansen route from Kyoto back to Tokyo via Nagoya, but will make a detour to the Chubu region.

Japan Trip Itinerary – Chapter 3: Kyūshū

After touring through Hokkaido and Kansai I will move on to Japans third-largest island Kyushu in the south of the main island Honshu. Apart from visiting urban Fukuoka and Nagasaki I will relax in a hot spring resort and explore two volcanos! In six days I will make a round trip across and around the island and will stop by in various places.
