Visiting Switzerland




Last year July we went to visit my son in Switzerland. It was epic and I miss traveling. Maybe next year again.

Lake Towada





Lake Towada, this gorgeous remote lake is a highlight for me on our travel to North Japan because of the surrounding nature. It invites the traveler to wander along the lake and the Oirase gorge. 800 years ago only wilderness surrounded this lake and the occasional visit of Japanese ascetic hermits. During the annual autumn colors lots of tourists visiting Lake Towada and Oirase Gorge.

Mixed Seaside Onsen





Onsen are very popular in Japan and seaside onsen are rare. Aomori has a mixed seaside Onsen facing West for the perfect sunset. Close by is a beach made of 1000 stone tatamis, going further North to the tip of Aomori you will find wind farms overseeing beach forests. Come with me on a road trip to North West Japan

Blue Pond Japan





Blue Pond, Aomori - We are continuing on our journey to the north of Honshu, Japan, driving along the West Coast and turning East towards Lake Juniko or twelve lakes area located in Tsugaru Quasi-National Park. Thick forest lining the road and the scent of fresh, wet green leaves is filling the air. Cool wind is brushing our skin and we are enjoying our road trip up to lake Juniko. This blue mystical pond is worth a visit and if you are into hiking, this is the right spot to go.

Staying at a Luxury Modern Japanese Inn





Staying at a Luxury Modern Japanese Inn

End of July we made our way to the cooler North of Japan, traveling with the rainy season along the West Coast of Japan to the land of winds. This video is the next stop of our journey, after a day journey and a visit to the Oga Aquarium GAO.

We are staying one night at a Luxury Modern Japanese Inn close to the Oga Aquarium GAO. The view is to die for and it is so remote and secluded that you do not need to worry about anything. We are enjoying Kaiseki dinner and breakfast at this Modern Ryokan. The onsen has a panoramic view over Toga Bay. The next morning we are back into our car and driving along the West Coast to Aomori. Next stop will be Aoike, the mystical blue pond up in the highlands of Tsugaru Quasi-National Park.
