    Guide to Iwakuni, Japan – Our Second Home

    September 6, 2022 /

    This is post 1 of 5 in the series “Guide to Iwakuni, Japan” Iwakuni is not on everyone’s radar when visiting Japan. After all, it’s far from the typical places tourists visit like Kyoto and Tokyo. But Iwakuni is easily accessible from Hiroshima and deserves a visit. Iwakuni has one of Japan’s prettiest historical bridges at the foot of the mountain where Iwakuni Castle sits upon. For a city of its size, Iwakuni has a lot to offer. Check out the Kintai Bridge, learn about the famous White Snakes, and try some local cuisine. Iwakuni’s location makes it a popular outdoor destination.

    Hikone is a fairly small sized city located on Lake Biwa’s eastern edge in Shiga Prefecture. Hikone is most famous for Hikone Castle, one of the original castles of Japan dating back to 1622.

    Day Trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina

    August 22, 2021 /

    Bosnia and Herzegovina seems to be looked over by many tourists. Especially since Croatia, its neighbor gets all the attention. Bosnia has had a violent past and honestly is still recovering from years of war. The history of Bosnia is extremely rich and diverse, probably more so then most other places I’ve visited. We were staying in Split, Croatia for a few days and decided to take a day trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina.  Departing Split for a Day Trip to Bosnia Split, Croatia is a great destination to set up a home base if wanting to explore the Balkans. Split was incredibly touristy so finding tour companies offering day…

    First Timer’s Travel Guide to Fukuoka, Japan

    June 18, 2019 /

    Fukuoka, Japan’s 6th largest city and the capital of Fukuoka prefecture is a modern city with a fantastic food scene. Fukuoka is the result of two cities, Hakata and Fukuoka being merged together in 1889. The city of Fukuoka has two main districts, Hakata and Tenjin, each unique with an exciting nightlife. Fukuoka was the first city I visited when traveling to Japan in 2017. Fort first timer’s, Fukuoka is a great introduction to Japan. The subway line here is easy to figure out, it’s walkable, tourist friendly, and has amazing attractions. Since the first time I visited Fukuoka, I’ve been back here a half dozen times at least. This…
