Hello from Osaka. I'm coming back to Europe in a few days. Before that, I could enjoy the changing of the colours in a nearby temple.

Hello everyone from Osaka where I'm spitting and coughing, having caught a bad bronchitis. This did not prevent me from doing with Kumiko very interesting activities that I let you discover in pictures and videos.
Despite temperatures still too hot for the season, the rice harvest is underway and last weekend we attended the harvest festival near our house. Large wooden floats, very finely decorated and called "Danjiri", are pulled by the young men of each neighborhood.
Otherwise, we did a very hard hike to Mount Katsuragi, famous in the fall for its thousands of wild reeds.

Now that this page is alive again, the latest news 🥸.
I'm already in Osaka since the end of June and will stay there until December.
After reviving soon the website, I plan to organise the first tours next spring.
Travel news :
- A few weeks ago, I made for the first time a wonderful trip to Hokaido. I'll post soon here a photo album.
- And a few days ago, I went to the San'yo region, on the shores of the Seto Inland sea. I already posted pictures on my private FB page, but now I gathered here the best shots in a new album with some background info. Some photos are new, so everyone can take a look again 😎.

After more than 2 years without a life sign, I'm back again :-).
I'm now leaving in Japan 6 months a year and plan to revive soon my activity as a tourist guide.
In the next few months, I will revive the website with a Japanese hosting provider and a new offer.

After a long search, we at least found a nice house south from Osaka! As our stay is almost over (we fly on Sunday back to Germany), we'll begin mid November with the renovations, when we return to Japan. Here a few pictures.

Après une longue recherche, nous avons enfin trouvé notre bonheur, une belle maison dans le sud d'Osaka ! Notre séjour estival se terminant bientôt (vol de retour pour l'Allemagne dimanche), nous ne commencerons les rénovations nécessaires qu'à la mi-novembre, à notre retour au Japon. Comme promis, voici quelques photos de la maison.

Nach einer langen Suche haben wir endlich ein schönes Haus im Süden von Osaka gefunden! Da unser Aufenthalt sich sein Ende neigt (Rückflug am Sonntag von Tokyo), werden wir erst Mitte November mit den nötigen Renovierungen beginnen. Hier ein Paar Fotos des Hauses.
