Let me give you an outline of my upcoming journey through Japan:
I will start in Kyoto and stay in that area for about four weeks, experiencing one of the most famous matsuri (of festival) of all Japan, the Gion Matsuri. Most probably I will end up seeing all the major tourist attractions, but I will always keep an eye open for more hidden things, places to visit off the beaten path.
Some other places I will visit while having my home base in Kyoto are Hiroshima and Kanazawa.
After that I will move further north, to Tokyo, doing all the stuff to be done there and traveling its surroundings. This will include climbing Mt. Fuji.
I will take a week off Tokyo in mid-August and travel to the northernmost island of Japan: Hokkaido. There lies the great Daisetsuzan National Park, which I will explore for two days, followed by some time in Sapporo (great seafood around there). Don't expect updates 'till I'm back south.
At the end of August, my girlfriend will finally join me in Tokyo for the last two weeks of my, or now our, journey, which we will spend in Tokyo and Kyoto, before flying back home.

I expect this blog to be as much about culinary and food as about everything else, loving to cook myself, but lets see where this goes.

So long and stay tuned,
JuergenS

Edit: Updated the picture to one I took myself.
