Traveling around is a tad expensive, though. I liked going to the local matsuri in Shizuoka and hanami on and around Fuji-san. There was also a museum for Tokugawa. However, this is all local area to Shizuoka.
I was able to travel to a lot of places then because I used stuff like Seishun 18 ticket and overnight buses and ferries. These days I don’t think my body can take the exertion haha

When I was traveling I spent a lot of time on slow trains, even slower busses and when in the Himalayas really scary rides. I also stopped at the cheapest hotels and hostels that I could. I was literally traveling on a shoestring. When I arrived in Japan, I thought I had enough money to cover about two months….boy was I wrong. I had two weeks worth of food and lodging money. I had to find work very quickly.

This may be a tad personal, but what made you stay for 10 years? Did you meet someone there?
reply
Yes, I did.

I am not sure, but I have heard that they are straightening out the roads and tearing down the old style apartments and houses. It's a shame to hear that. I guess now you can find places by street address rather than "next to that building".
