S02 E07 - Japan, Land of the Rising Sun

In Episode 7 of Season 2 we chat with Alex Glen, our Aussie friend residing in Adelaide.

Alex just returned from a spectacular three-week holiday to Japan and she shares with us an itinerary perfect for anyone wanting to visit this respectful, unique, colourful country.

Alex’s Japan adventures consist of stops in Osaka, Hiroshima, Nara Park, Kyoto, Mt Fuji, Kawaguchiko, the Hakuba Mountains, Tokyo & Tokyo Disney + more. She shares with us a ton of tidbits, the best way to get around, her culinary adventures, insight on the culture & the best place to book accommodations. Should you try out a pod? Is the super train worth it? Where’s the best place to start? What’s the grossest food Alex tried? Is Ramen really that good? Why was Japan chosen as the holiday of choice.. was it the history, culture, tech scene, food, or was it the snowboarding?

We recorded this episode during a bittersweet Australia Day weekend as our thoughts are with our friends down under during the devastating fires they continue to battle.
