Shinkansen

April 13, 2009 · 25 comments

For my money, i can’t go past the Shinkansen for my means of long distance travel within Japan.

Not only is it a safer option, there’s much less stuffing around than with a plane, no security check, no carry-on luggage restrictions etc …

On my recent trip to Hiroshima and Kyoto i had the pleasure of riding the Shinkansen several times.

Although as a tourist there’s a JR Rail Pass you can get it’s not necessarily the best and easiest option.

The only fair way of doing it is going back to the first 10 and seeing who’s been the most popular, after another 10 J-Babes i can either add them to this lot or find a winner from 11-20, guess i’ll decide when the time comes.

So in order from least popular to most popular here’s the J-Babes Of The Week Top 10 #1.

Christmas In Japan

December 9, 2008 · 26 comments

As another Christmas quickly approaches us there’s no chance it’s going to slip by unnoticed in Japan, everyone seems to get in on the Christmas spirit … or commercial spirit depending on which way you look at it.

Like anywhere in the world Santa comes in all shapes and Japan has its fair share of variations and i had a bit of a gander through flickr to find some examples.

Ginza Santa.

Santa Claus

Santa busting out the all too familiar peace sign, something very synonymous with life in Japan like a mentioned here.
