Japan 2.0: Kyoto’s Gion, Kamo riverside & Nishiki market

Kyoto - The cat, you and us

The first time we visited Kyoto we fell in love, and this second chance was the time to discover if our love was one of those at first sight that vanish quickly after the glow goes away, or in the contrary will evolve into a more profound relationship. In advance and to avoid any anticipation: it was the second....

Japan 2.0: Osaka’s Dotonbori, Namba temple and Den Den Town

Glico sign Osaka - The cat, you and us

After visiting Osaka during the evening & night a day before, we had the feeling that the city had a lot to offer during daylight too... and we weren't mistaken: Dotonbori's giant food signs and the big posters next to the Glico sign are even more surreal if you visit them when the restaurants are closed....

Japan 2.0: Kamakura

Daibutsu Great Buddha Kamakura - The cat, you and us

Kamakura is a coastal town 50 minutes away from Tokyo with the famous Daibutsu, the largest buddha statue standing in open air. The visit to the statue is worthy of leaving Tokyo for a little while, but the town has way more to offer, so we decided to take a complete day-off and include many of their other wonders. We will love to show you around, let's see them!...
