Exploring Suomenlinna south of Helsinki

Datum:
12.07.2025
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
5,8km

Our travel itinerary included about 24 hours in Helsinki before the follow-up flight further west. Exploiting our massive time confusion -- 6 am in Helsinki was like noon-time in Tokyo, after all -- we headed straight for the city center of Helsinki and from their, using the public ferry, to Suomenlinna, i.e., an island a bit south of the center of Helsinki, which previously was fortified massively. Today, quite a few visit this island, apparently, to see these fortifications. Before mostly following the "main-trail" across the island, we included a short detour to Pikku-Musta and Länsi-Musta, also. At the southern-most part of Suomenlinna, we then made a round around the fortifications before head back to the ferry quay where we had arrived earlier. Selected photos are available >>>

Round around the Imperial Palace (and Kanda)

Datum:
11.07.2025
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
7:00h
Entfernung:
13,1km

We had still some time before our flights back to Europe and thus made an attempt to see the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Apparently, however, we seemingly had looked up the wrong information ahead of time -- just to find out that the very Palace was closed. We thus decided to walk around the Palace area, which also turned out as an interesting walk. With even more time left, we then added a short extra-loop to get an impression of Kanda, just north of the main railway station of Tokyo. Clearly, Tokyo has a lot variety to offer! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Visiting Odaiba beach to see the Rainbow Bridge

Datum:
09.07.2025
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
3,1km

Very nice evening excursion to the Odaiba beach in Tokyo near the Rainbow Bridge. After first enjoying some nice time at the beach, we then walked around the Odaiba Marina to also see the Daiba Park on the other side, offer even more close-up views to the Rainbow Bridge (and to Tokyo behind it). While the beach was crowded -- mostly with young people in the evening -- we found ourselves 100% "alone" in the Daiba Park (after sunset). Interesting! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Tourlänge:

Short excursion during our visit to Tokyo with the Meiji temple and the rather crazy streets near to it! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Roppongi hills and Shibuya

Datum:
04.07.2025
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
4:30h
Entfernung:
5,6km

On our first full day in Tokyo, we decided to first visit Roppongi hills (and a very nice exhibition in the Mori Art Musuem, there). From there, we then chose to walk over to Shibuya to experience the famous Shibuya crossing in the evening. In in fact got to see it twice (actually three times), once before the rain, and then again during the rain. The packing density varied clearly, without dropping to any low value, though. :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Evening visit to the Shiratani Unsui Gorge

Datum:
02.07.2025
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
3,3km

There was still a bit of daylight time left -- we thus drove up to the Shiratani Unsui Gorge to have one relatively quick look. In principle, one could start from this place to extensive hikes, but given the relatively short time left, we only walked around the gorge for short while. Clearly, experiencing the jungle in the evening is also something very special! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Mt. Miyanoura on Yakushima

Datum:
01.07.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
7:30h
Entfernung:
13,6km

To include a nice hike had been part of our original plans for our visit to Yakushima. Depending on the circumstances, we also had looked at an ascent to Mt. Miyanoura, the hightest top of Yakushima, but wanted to wait until we would be in a better position to understand the weather, our form, etc. After one nice day of chilling on Yakushima, everything looked good and we made an early start to give us enough time for the there-and-back hike (officially 2*8km according to all signs). To make the actual ascent to Mt. Miyanoura possible for us on this day, we first drove up to the Yodogawa Mountain Trail Entrance at some 1370masl. This drive, already, to the high up end of a narrow mountain road, was a nice experience -- with numerous turns and a close-up impression of the surrounding jungle. >>>
