Okinawa: Guest House Grand Naha
A no-frills guesthouse / guesthouse located in the heart of Naha, Okinawa. It’s an okay spot for short stays in the private rooms. The dormitories require some courage.
Okinawa Itinerary
Travel tips Go with someone who has an international license. The central city of Naha is quite small and would entertain you for 1-2 day tops. Driving out of Naha will bring you to many more sights. Purchase an Okica travel card for public transport. […]
Osaka: Home Hostel
Can’t fit in the whole building here but Home Hostel truly stood out amongst the gaudy loud buildings in Sinsekai. The reason why I picked this spot instead of the more popular areas like Namba is because Home Hostel is a skip away from Spa World, […]

Midori Sushi: familiar contemporary sushi
As compared to Iwasa Sushi, Midori Sushi veers onto the more commercial side. In fact, Midori has been rated to be one of the better sushi chains with higher quality dishes that do not break the bank. Let me put this up front, I am no […]
Traditional Sushi: Iwasa at Tsukiji Market
We were all geared up ready to get up at the crack of dawn to queue for Sushi Daiwa (the shop operated by legendary Sushi Dai’s son) but alas, holiday sleep got better of us. We reached Tsukiji Market at 10am or so on a […]
