From Nagano: Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route

Your first stop is the Kurobe Dam. Constructed between 1956 and 1963, this immense structure required the labor of up to 10 million people and is Japan's highest dam.

We booked a private Tour in Fukuoka. Our guide was Sasuke, a really motivated lady who showed us around in an individual tour. We also got a lot of practical tips about living, eating, manners, transportation and language of Japan. She knows the best spots around fukuoka and showed us a magical hidden garden. Thanks a lot, we surely will be talking about this day for a long time.

Extremely useful while we were in Japan. Bought 2 SIMs which worked really well, did not slow down even with high use and streaming. Cheaper than renting a Wi-Fi egg for the same duration

Easy to install, worked perfectly from the get-go for me, very practical! For me, the 1GB/day plan was perfect as I used my phone as a hotspot for others.

I was wary at first about the cheap cost of this bullet train but it’s legit! Fukuoka to Osaka in 2 hours or so. Amazing!

we enjoyed being online all the time, finding directions, staying in touch, sharing photos
