Japan
Japan is one of our favorite countries to travel to. First visit was in 1992, that year we were visiting the first 4 MotoGP races. The season started in Japan. We flew to Osaka and visited Nara, Kyoto and Tsu.
In 2001 we got a chance to see more of Japan, this time we travelled with a group organised by Djoser, a dutch travel agency. The route was along Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Takayama, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In 2003 we went back, this time to Osaka, Takato, Kyoto and Tokyo. |
