Regional travel accounts in East Asia

Overview

Personal travel accounts document various journeys across East Asia, with a particular focus on Japan. Earlier reports detail regional transit and sightseeing, including rail journeys through Taiwan from Taipei to Kaohsiung, transit experiences in Shanghai, and trips through Kyoto and Kobe. Other accounts highlight stays at hot spring facilities in Iwate and visits to religious sites. Subsequent accounts focus on specific Japanese locations, such as multi-day visits to Tokyo involving dining and sports venues, as well as excursions to Kochi Prefecture to visit temples and coastal areas like Cape Ashizuri. Recent reports expand these Japanese excursions to include Okinawa and Hokkaido. In Okinawa, travelers have visited Chinen Misaki Park to view coral reefs and the Koma-ka and Kudaka Islands. In Hokkaido, accounts document journeys through the Okhotsk region via local buses, following the former path of the Tenpoku Line from Hamanbetsu to the Kunshi Betsu Bus Terminal. These trips included visits to Lake Kutcharo and the exploration of historical railway artifacts at the Kunshi Betsu terminal museum. Newer logs provide more granular detail on transit and expenses. Accounts include a six-hour transit in Shanghai via China Eastern Airlines and a circuit of Taiwan using Taiwan Railways. In Japan, travelers have documented stays at Yamagami Onsen Bessho Seiryukan in Iwate, visits to Ninna-ji temple in Kyoto, and historical walks in Kobe’s Kyu-Kyoryuchi district. Further documentation covers summer trips to Osaka and Kobe, and a six-day journey through Fukushima, Niigata, and Sendai. Recent entries include a solo two-night journey in Gifu Prefecture during June 2026, featuring visits to Inuyama Castle, Gero Onsen Gassho Village, the Edo-period Odo family residence, and the Takehara Bunraku Memorial Museum despite consecutive typhoons.
