... We will be back in Fukui. Marie and I are in fact at 28.2. Osaka down to us to meet with Ivonne and Gisa and spend a few days in Osaka and Tokyo, with the two. I will report everything as best we can what we have experienced. It may be that I order something was confusing because we have experienced so much. The day before departure, Marie and I are the Senshinjûhachi ticket bought, which is valid from 1.3. to 10.4. and one can with the normal JR trains five days (24 hours) go as far as you go. The five days need not be at a time. It cost 11 500 yen, and we only had to pay extra for the trip to Osaka and the Metros / Subways. So perfect for us.
Day 1: 7:29 For we took the train to Central Station in Fukui and are made by regional train from there went on to Osaka. Has a total of slightly more than 4 hours. Twice we had to change. Fortunately, everything worked fine, really long time to train we had ever had. After arriving in Osaka, we have also found the same the other two. It was awesome Gisa and Ivonne to see again. I never had the feeling that we have seen not so long, everything was the same exactly as before (^///^) The rail system may be complicated, something Marie and I are so accustomed to not by Fukui, here we have our little tourist train and the wars. In Osaka Actually, three rail systems: Metro, Subway and JR. Fortunately we had Gisa and Ivonne it. We are therefore driven to the hotel to check in and get rid of our bags. At the hotel we have been so looking not a day before our departure, Marie and I know that is to have only one Japanese shared (-.-) v But fortunately has found out then that there still a shower was. After we had unloaded everything, we drove back into town and have indulged in something to eat first. For Ivonne and Gisa gabs Parfait (because the two were already clock for 5 in Osaka, they have at some point by all gefuttert cafes, so that in the warm were able to sit) and Marie and me gabs spaghetti. Strengthened we went to Osaka Castle. On the way to the castle have been few cherry trees blossomed. In the castle was a museum and you could go to the top and look out on a tour of the city and the castle grounds. Once again we were out, we went in the plum garden that we had seen when we controlled the castle and you could see from above.
Hmmm ... what we have done that day? I think Gisa is after our walk through the garden already gone home, because they returned to Kobe still had to know where she lives. Yvonne, Marie and I have thought us that there would be too early to drive back to the hotel again. I think it was something around at half-6th So we decided to go to Nanba to us where to look. We had absolutely no idea where in the department stores are Nanba, simply go out running, and are come to Denden-Town, the electronics district. It was just loud (x__x) Now that we have not found a single department store (the always hide in front of us) that we expected in Nanba, we went back to the hotel.
Day 2: On the second day we went to Himeji Castle to us where to look. The castle grounds were huge and we have, I believe taken three to four hours to get us all to see. Here too, you go in again in the castle and to rise to the top. Inside was another museum, the rooms and floors were still in their original condition (not so at the Osaka Castle). So we had to slip on and stairs. I can not walk in these things easy. Since the stairs were too steep and the things I constantly have to lose normal stairs and stumbling over it, I had to take off up the stairs ... because you once knew how cold it is in such dwellings. How have the past endured only? There was relatively little going on, because we were already accustomed to Kyôto really different. But I think it was because the castle is known for cherry blossoms and that time is yet to come. After the castle tour We have not eaten in Himeji 'lunch' and are then gone on to Kobe. There we got out in Sannomiya, where also Paiyama (popular meeting place in Kobe) is what I've seen on Saskia's (S.) Japan has often photos. From there, we were looking for a karaoke bar and three hours of singing. For dinner then gabs Konbinikost ... need I say more?
Day 3: At 10 clock we had to get out of the hotel and we was still a long day and a long night on the train to Tokyo before. Since Gisa on this day in Kobe had to do something, are Yvonne, Marie and I gone off alone. Now that we have been completed in Osaka seen our luggage at the station, we are on the search for shopping gone. This time we had a plan, were located in the department stores. On the way to the first store we went to an arcade and have made Purikura (^ ^) Somehow it is quite difficult in Japan in a city that is known not to find suitable shops. Most of it is quite expensive. So we are more or less just strolled through the department stores and have seen it all. I bought what I still was not cheap, but I had to have it. A shirt from Peace Now - with Alice on it * awww * I could not even try on in the business, stupid because Japanese clothes often have such a strange and cut me on the sleeves are too short in most cases. But I habs taken at random, even if pigs was expensive (I tell not now how much it cost). I was relieved when I tried it back in Fukui and fitted it (O_O) v Well, back to Osaka. For lunch (I think it was about half past 3) we met with Gisa in Nanba. We went to eat okonomiyaki. Of course I had one with Ebi. It was really delicious and had the perfect size! Then we wanted to look again in more detail Nanba and behold, there were at once department stores and shopping areas. One only has to run in the right direction. Despite this the shirt my only achievement on the day. By 21 clock drove our car from the direction of Tôkyô, that is, in fact it was the car to Maibara, because there we had a train to Ogaki change. Ogaki and then drove the train to Tokyo. Jaaaahh ~ yes would be all well and good, someone would have told us that you have to make reservations for the train to Tokyo from Ogaki seats. Ahahaa ... (-.-) V Luckily we were still driving the train, but had under way or where the doors are to remain. The fact that the night would be particularly edifying we knew already, but we were allowed to sit still on the ground and freeze, which we would now not be even imagined. The high point was then that we, although we had a seat, still 510 yen had to pay ... for a seat ... öööh, yes. Fortunately, since the nice gabs Schaffner, who gave us about two hours before Tôkyô then sought seats on the train, which had already been discharged. I could not sleep just half an hour, but better than nothing. Shortly after 5 clock in the morning we arrived in Tokyo and are driven to the residence Ivonne, in order not to sleep a few hours. Otherwise we would have been of no use even on the day.
Day 4: Despite lack of sleep we got up by 10 clock and have our way to our hostel made in Asakusa. Was not the hit, but was were only there to sleep. There is the Kaminarimon in Asakusa, We are of course gone and we have also looked at the Senso-ji. Was rather made to Touri, unfortunately. Oh, incidentally, gabs before noon (udon and Oyakokatsu). Next they were then sold in a large department store and a store of food from Okinawa. There was absolutely Ivonne us can taste the ice. The ice is right there made with fresh fruit. Marie, Ivonne and I have tried passion fruit and Gisa, of course, chili ... or so, well, something sharp (^___-) Marie and I were then indulged in more pineapple and dragon fruit jam. Since I am very curious to taste like the two varieties. What time was I can not tell exactly, but we were dead tired, So Gisa, Marie and I moved back to the hostel and Ivonne are back to the dorm. Oh yes! At the main station we asked the way, even after seats for our return trip, because we did not want to spend a night in the hallway on the train. Ultimately, found out that tickets for seats at least one month must be purchased in advance, because the go like hot cakes. Herrlich. So we knew what awaits us still.
Day 5: We had Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibuya on our map. Originally it was to go to Kamakura. But because the trip would be quite expensive, we postponed the trip until the next day, so that with our Senshinjûhachi-ticket were able to drive that we would need on the day before or for our journey home. So we went first to Shinjuku, where we angschaut the City Hall of Tokyo, where you can ride the elevator to the 45 floor and within 30 seconds. On top, you can overlook the city. Unfortunately, it was pretty hazy and you could not see as far as ever else they might have seen even the Mount Fuji. After we decided that we wanted to see nothing more in Shinjuku we went to Harajuku, where we ate lunch and Meiji Shrine are gone. Unfortunately it had started to rain in the meantime and so no cosplayers or Gololis were there .... * Argh * I then had me so happy! The Yoyogipark was almost deserted and the shrine was not much going on. Despite the rain we have then we can not we be Takeshitadôri up and run down. Ivonne knew of a shop where you could really eat delicious crepes and away we had to convince myself of course. Really delicious. For me, gabs crêpe with chocolate, banana and chocolate sauce. Unfortunately, there is no picture of it, because as I said, it rained and it was hard enough to eat the stuff, while trying somehow to keep his umbrella (^^)'' the way I've also found a new bag, and finally an instrument holder. My one that I from Germany had brought with him is so broken (T ^ T) After some Gothic (Lolita) were shops, jewelry and trinkets and bag shops, and again four of Purikura have done, we went to Shibuya. There we have looked at the statue of Hachiko. Do you know Hachiko? This is a dog that has picked up his master every day from the Shibuya station, came as the one from work. When his owner died, Hachiko was still on to Shibuya station and was waiting for him. (TT__TT) And now there is a statue of him. I think that was even built as Hachiko still lived. A true celebrity then. In Shibuya, we just walked into a department store (Shibuya 109) where I made a video, unfortunately, it's pretty shaky. I'm not born to the camera woman * lol * In any case, fashion is everywhere as simply impossible ... We were still made to go sing karaoke, because we had the first time so many songs we could sing no more, because we had no more time. Previously, we necessarily wanted, but still to Book Off. Unfortunately, the Ivonne not recovered and the people we asked did not know where that was. So we made on our way to karaoke and just go in before we did, Gisa finally has spotted Book Off. What a lucky ... Marie and Gisa. Ivonne and I are left empty-handed. Next they were then really to karaoke. There is still something leckereres as Melon Soda ... Melon Cream Soda ...
Day 6: Kamakura * nick * My legs actually went quite well (even if the floor has a shower from the hostel somehow imprinted on my toes and has the razor at the beginning when walking pretty much), but it was all the time. Until that day, as were my socks that is conspiring against me and rubbed so hot that I eventually wrap a bandage around his little toe had. Since it was a bit better, but still painful. Something stupid. Sometimes I could only hobble * argh * Luckily I got most of the time not even noticed that it hurt. Well, enough of that. We wanted to make their way to Kamakura and as we stood on the railway track at once came the announcement that the train is late? Half an hour! As Ivonne has proposed only after driving to Yokohama and from there then to Kamakura. In Yokohama, the waiting time for the connecting train was fortunately not quite as long. And we could even the most time sitting in the car. Our first stop was the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. Fortunately the day was again beautiful weather and so we went to the scream tour still went to a German baker, who was a bit further away. Ivonne has bought pumpernickel and Gisa a sesame seed bun, which we could try that too. Whoa, the tasted good, like a real bun (*¬*) After a lunch at McDonald's more * cough * we went by train to Hase. There is in fact Kotoku-in Daibutsu the Ivonne really wanted to give a peck (^___~) The Buddha makes its name, it really is quite big XD Then we went back to Yokohama, Minato Mirai to where we stand in darkness nor the Ferris wheel looked at (my night mode of my digital camera is simply not stand not to be used (> _ <)") Um dann noch die Zeit zu überbrücken bis unser Zug in Tôkyô (um 23 Uhr) abfährt und weil wir Hunger hatten, sind wir in ein Family-Restaurant gegangen und haben Pizza gegessen und ordentlich Melon Soda und Tee getrunken. Danach gings nach Shinagawa wo wir uns auch schon von Ivonne verabschieden mussten (TT___TT) Wir sind dann weiter zum Hauptbahnhof gefahren, haben unsere Sachen aus dem Schließfach geholt (wusstet ihr, dass man keine Leichen in den Schließfächern aufbewahren darf? Jaha, das steht da auf 'nem Schild) und auf unsere Bahn gewartet. Als Marie einen Schaffner fragte, ob der Zug auf dem Gleis schon der Moonlight nach Ogaki ist, wollte der uns gleich ins richtige Abteil verfrachten (wegen Sitzplatz und so). Als Marie ihm dann aber sagte, dass wir keine Plätze haben, wollte der uns doch tatsächlich weiß machen, dass wir gar nicht mitfahren dürften, wenn wir keine Ticket haben. Gut, dass wir die eine Fahrt schon gemacht haben, sonst hätten wir das gar nicht gewusst, dass man auch ohne Sitzplatz fahren darf. Nachdem Marie ihm dann gesagt hatte, dass wir so auch schon nach Tôkyô gekommen sind, hat er uns freundlicherweise doch einsteigen lassen. Schon komisch. Denn schließlich fahren auch Japaner ohne Sitzplatz mit. Vielleicht hatte er Angst, dass wir Randale schieben im Zug? War noch ein ziemlich junger Kerl, vielleicht wollte er nichts riskieren?! Na ja, jedenfalls hat alles geklappt, wir saßen im Zug. Marie und ich hatten uns unsere Handtücher in Tüten gepackt, so dass wir etwas bequemer auf dem harten Boden sitzen konnten. Nachdem der Schaffner uns noch 510 Yen abgeknöpft hat, hat er gesagt, dass wir uns ab 4:00 einen Sitzplatz suchen dürfen. Also hieß es "nur" fünf Stunden auf dem Boden ausharren. Tatsächlich haben wir um 4:00 dann auch Plätze gefunden. Das Glück hielt aber nicht lange, irgendwann... ich glaub etwa 1 1/2 Stunden später hat Gisa Marie und mich aus unserem Dämmerschlaf gerissen, weil wir nicht mitbekommen haben, dass in Nagoya die Waggons getrennt werden. Wir saßen natürlich im Falschen... Der Teil des Zuges der nach Ogaki weiterfährt war natürlich ziemlich voll, aber wir haben vereinzelt noch Sitzplätze gefunden. Leider waren die auch nicht optimal, weil ein Kerl so extreme Schweißfüße hatte, dass es mir schon hochkam. Und sein Handy hat auch andauernd geklingelt. Zum Glück war es nur eine halbe Stunde bis Ogaki. Dort hatten wir dann ganze 5 Minuten Zeit um den Zug nach Maibara zu erwischen. Da aber die meisten dort umsteigen hat der Zug gewartet. In Maibara mussten wir uns dann auch von Gisa trennen, die weiter nach Kobe gefahren ist. Marie und ich haben noch eine halbe Stunde warten müssen, bis unser Zug nach Tsuruga fährt. Es war übrigens schon kurz nach 8 Uhr morgens. Die Fahrt bis nach Fukui verlief eigentlich ziemlich unspektakulär. In Tsuruga mussten wir knapp eine Stunde auf den Anschlusszug warten, aber da es ein Wartehäuschen gab, war es nicht so schlimm. Ohne wären wir glaube ich ersoffen und dann weggeweht worden. Wir haben langsam gemerkt, dass wir der Heimat näher kommen. In der Bahn hatten wir wirklich Probleme wachzubleiben. Das wärs ja geworden, wenn wir kurz vorm Ziel noch weggepennt wären. Im Zug gabs übrigens ein japanisches Klo... da hätte ich beinahe 'nen Abgang nach hinten gemacht, weil der Zug so gewackelt hat XD In Fukui war die Umsteigezeit perfekt, nicht zu kurz und nicht zu lang. Um 11:30 waren wir dann am Wohnheim und haben gleich einen Schrecken bekommen. In unserem Briefkasten lag ein Zettel, dass zwischen 9:00 und 17:00 jemand in unsere Zimmer will, um da mal wieder was zu überprüfen. Wir sind dann nochmal nach Unten und haben gefragt, ob die schon fertig sind, und wenn nicht, ob die nicht unsere Zimmer gleich als erstes kontrollieren können. Hat sich dann aber rausgestellt, dass die Herren, die so nett im Weg rumstanden, als wir ins Wohnheim kamen, die Kontrolleure waren und gerade gegangen sind. Puuuh~ das nenn ich Dusel. Also nur noch kurz Füße gewaschen, denn den Mief wollte ich nicht mit ins Bett nehmen *lol* Und dann ab in die Kiste.
We had so much fun together. I'm glad that we made this trip and everything went so well (except for the train ). We had planned to make roughly what we wanted and yet we are never come in short of time or had large reschedule. Are not we great? Except for the one day the weather was also very good. I'm looking forward to it, if Sarah is coming to Japan, then we will certainly do again such a trip.
you look strictly at the photos.

Hat sich dann aber rausgestellt, dass die Herren, die so nett im Weg rumstanden, als wir ins Wohnheim kamen, die Kontrolleure waren und gerade gegangen sind. Puuuh~ das nenn ich Dusel. Also nur noch kurz Füße gewaschen, denn den Mief wollte ich nicht mit ins Bett nehmen *lol* Und dann ab in die Kiste.
We had so much fun together. I'm glad that we made this trip and everything went so well (except for the train ). We had planned to make roughly what we wanted and yet we are never come in short of time or had large reschedule. Are not we great? Except for the one day the weather was also very good. I'm looking forward to it, if Sarah is coming to Japan, then we will certainly do again such a trip.
you look strictly at the photos.
