Kyu Asakura House

The Kyu Asakura house, built in 1919, is an historic house that survived the disasters of the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Second World War. The house is open as a museum to visitors and offers a unique feel of the Taisho era. The Mansion integrates beautifully with the garden and landscape rocks. The best time to visit the house and garden is in spring or fall.

Gaijin San

Since my better half is Japanese I often have the chance to travel to Japan. I grew fond over time of this magnificent country. I thought of sharing with you some places worth visiting in this little but growing travel guide to Japan. I try to show with images what I can't express with words. I hope you may find here some inspiration! For those who wonder, I chose the moniker Gaijin-San after being called like this by a waitress at a grilled eel restaurant. "Gaijin" means foreigner and "San" is a honorific suffix in Japanese.
