Otaru Diaires: Otaru Pride and Barbeque
Following up on last week’s post, on June 29th, I spent the day out at Otaru! First, my third Otaru pride around noon, and a barbeque with my friends at Ranshima beach afterwards. From my friend’s house, I headed to Yoichi station and took the 10:20 train to Otaru. It was a little early, but…

Yoichi Diaires: Strawberry Picking and Sleepover!
On June 28th I went with my friends strawberry picking! After our fail last year, my friends and I were determined to go this year. I figured out the fruit farm we wanted to go to only does strawberry reservations online, so I hopped on the site at 9am sharp. I barely managed to get…

Sapporo Diaires: Immigration Bureau Fails, Eating and Shopping Around
On June 9th, I went out to Sapporo! It was a Monday that I didn’t have work, so my grand plan was to go to the Sapporo Immigration Bureau to take care of some stuff, since they only open on weekdays (and well, I usually I have work). The rest of the day was eating…

Sapporo Diaries: Handmade Marche and Hanging with Friends
On May 24th, I went out to Sapporo to hang out with my friends visiting Hokkaido! It was their last full day, and coincidentally, I found another handmade festival event for this weekend.

Sapporo/Otaru Diaries: Lilac Festival 2025 and Showing Friends Around
My college friend is visiting Hokkaido for a week with a couple friends! I met up with him in Sapporo to give him a basic tour, and the day after was an Otaru day! It also happens there’s a ton of festivals happening in Sapporo this week, so it was a good time to come!…

Fukuoka Diaires: Kirby Cafe, Dontaku Festival, Itoshima
For Golden Week this year, I went to Fukuoka! This will be the furthest east I’ll ever travel in Japan, and is probably also one of the longest flights in the country (excluding Hokkaido to Okinawa). I was excited to do some local sightseeing, eat some tonkotsu ramen, and it just happens that the local…

Sapporo Diaries: Tea Convention and Sentai Show
On April 19th and 20th, my boyfriend and I stayed the night in Sapporo! Mostly because I had a live show on Sunday, so I needed to stay the night. There also happened to be a Lupicia Tea event over the weekend, so I reserved to go on Saturday. April 19th: Time to head to…

Hong Kong Diaries: Victoria Harbor, Peak, and Ocean Park
Here’s Part 2 of my 2025 Spring vacation! April 2nd: Continuing from the last post, the flight itself was pretty smooth, and we landed a little early! Hong Kong airport is huge, as you need to take a tram from one terminal to another. The actual immigration process is easy, with no prior documents needed,…

Singapore Diaires: Merlion, Marina Bay, and Lots of Food!
This year for spring break I decided to go to Singapore and Hong Kong! Theses are both places on my Asia bucket list, and for a variety of reasons, going to both this year in my one week vacation worked out the best. I’ll be splitting my spring travels into two parts! March 29th: My…

Otaru Diaries: Yakiniku and Wing Bay Hangout
On Saturday, March 23rd, our local Block Advisor organized an in person meetup for the JETs in my area! We’ve had a few online game nights this year, but this was the first time in a long time that so many of us gathered in one place. I met a lot of new people, some…
