Welcome to Gadget Esprit
Gadget Esprit is a personal blog written by HACHIYA, a Japanese blogger in his forties. I write in Japanese most of the time, and this English section collects the posts that are likely to be useful to visitors from outside Japan.
Right now that means two things. Travel guides to places I have actually walked around in Japan, with access details, opening hours and the things I wish I had known before going. And guides to watching professional golf in Japan, written from my own days at the course: which ticket to buy, how to get there from Tokyo, and what the day is really like.
Everything here starts from somewhere I have actually been, or something I have actually used and paid for. I do not rewrite guidebooks or press releases, and if I have not been to a place or used a product myself, I do not write about it. Opening hours, prices, official rules and anything else that can change are a different matter — I check those against the operator’s own website or the relevant public authority, and I say when a figure comes from there rather than from my own visit. Where something is uncertain, I say so rather than guessing.
