Best of Japan - Summer & Autumn 2008

This has been one of my longest stay in Japan which spans from June to November 2008. Though I am the only one from the Singapore office to be posted to Japan this time round, there are many people who have helped me throughout my stay here. This posting is dedicated to all of them.

It has been an unforgetable 6 months in Japan which will definitely bring back fond memories when I look back towards it.

My Travel Map

I have travelled to a few popular destinations during my stay. Nakagawa-san brought me to the areas to the far north of Komaki - Kanazawa, Shirakawa, Kamikochi, Takayama. The farthest I have travelled is to Hiroshima City and Miyajima in Hiroshima Prefecture. Total journey time is 8.5 hours and is only possible by overnight bus.
