I had spent my first day in Tokyo, to leave for Kyoto for 3 days and come back to spend another 3 in Tokyo again. I'll be honest, when I planned my trip to Japan,


Basically my first day was just living as a nomad, as I didn't have any place where I resided. Tip nr. 1: make use of the luggage storage at the big stations, so that you can still enjoy the day without dragging your luggage throughout the city. Tip nr.2: If traveling time equals the amount of sleep you need, plan it to be at night. Saves you money to spend on accommodation, and saves you precious day time to spend exploring.

So the night was spend in a bus. Yes. I totally felt like a backpacker. Not able to take a shower, but prepared with a second hand shower (wet wipes ftw, lol). Mcdonalds (second home) breakfast, in this bar-like setting. For those who know me, dont worry. It wasn't fries. It was pancakes. Slow down.

Because I didn't get enough rest 2 nights in a row I felt myself almost collapsing from tiredness so I headed to my stay by 20:00. And that might be one of the best decisions I made during that trip. The ryokan I stayed in was everything. It was the most amazing accommodation I've ever stayed in, not to mention the comfortability. After having spent one night at the airport in Korea and one night in a bus from Tokyo to Kyoto, my body needed a comfortable space to acquire rest that I didn't get before. This place did that for me and more. My heart got butterflies just walking around in that ryokan and just being in my room. I seriously wouldnt mind living in such a place.
