Ever since I was very young, my image of Japan has always been very romanticized, this is a course thanks to movies, internet, music, food and all other kinds of arts. So after studying japanese in highschool for XNUM X years, I had decided I packed during the year, I have being december of X NUM X and this would have been actually my only trip alone with another country. I packed lightly, only my backpack and my warmest clothes, for I new Japan would be just as cold as Sweden, if not not even colder ...

You might wonder, why did I decide to visit Sapporo? Well… I had met a girl online who was teaching me japanese, and she happened to live in Sapporo, so I had to visit of course!

I found Guesthouse Waya on the app Airbnb and I picked it because the pictures made me feel like they would invite invite everyone to their family. This was also the case!

My very first memory of Guesthouse Waya was perfect.

It was sunny and snowy outside, and actually quite cold. So I felt really glad once I got to the door. When I opened and entered into Waya the first thing I heard was a familiar song playing. It was Anil at the reception who was playing the song “Arurian Dance – by Nujabes” on the computer and I knew instantly that life had taken me to where I belonged. I instantly asked the receptionist (Anil) if it was Nujabes playing and then followed up by saying that I loved this song. Guesthouse Waya is special, it is a meeting hub for travelers, artists, craftsmen and comedians, and everyone becomes part of the family.

There is a great adventure on the adventures and others performed beautiful songs on the instruments that have been performed with others. So the course I had to visit again. The second time I had to visit again. The second time I had to visit again. visit. This time I got to say farewell to my dear friends since they have a farewell party for several members, one of which was Anil, who had been my first memory of Waya, and now was going to move back to New York. Lots of food, cakes, drinks, live music, friends and family. The party continued to XNUM Xam in the morning thanks to the party who was loaded with so many emotions and feelings, so believe me when I say that it was a big party! the great idea of ​​going to k araoke! One of my best nights in Japan ever, for sure!
