Wifi Most of us are internet addiction. We need Wifi everywhere we go. I'm afraid to say that, but free wifi access in Japan is not good. There are Wifi in some big station, airport.

If you have poor sense of direction, I recommend to use pocket wifi or SIM card. I'm Japanese...

A Complete Guide to Ikeshima pt.1: How to Get Coal Mining Islnd Filled with Cats

Hey guys. Short time no see. Let me introduce about myself to people who don't know me. I'm Japanese travel blogger wanting you guys to know about Japan more. Yesterday I wrote about my travel to Gunkanjima in Nagasaki. ( Ultimate Gide to Coal Mining Island Gunkanjima(Hashima), Nagasaki by Japanese ) At that time, also visited Ikeshima. Ikeshima, former coal mining island, is not known to most people including Japanese. Few people who love abandoned places like me know it... It is the island where miners lived as Gunkanjima. But there are still a few people living in Ikeshima. You can explore around island, and see abandoned buildings and mines. If you book a mine tour, you can even enter into a mine. Moreover, there are a lot of cats. I was surprised to hear that there are much more cats than people. Cat lovers MUST visit there, I claim. Do u know cat cafe? Ikeshima is like a cat cafe for free. Ok, this ar...

In last spring vacation, I had enough time to go somewhere. Fortunately I had enough money to travel thanks to my part-time job. So I made a plan to go somewhere in Japan. Gunkanjima, which I've long wanted to visit, came into my mind. Then I made up my mind to go to Gunkanjima(Hashima) and Ikeshima Island, Nagasaki. (Now you noticed I was obsessed with abandoned places like them) I will wrote about Ikeshima someday.  Stay tuned. What tour should I book? You know we can't enter Gunkanjima(Hashima) without guide by shipping companies. So you must book a tour unless you charter a cruise. I booked a tour by Seaman Firm , bcoz it is cheapest of all and it stops only by Gunkanjima. (I was not interested in other Takashima things) ...
