Golden Week 2026 plans?

Are you venturing beyond your prefecture this time? Or sticking close to home? I'm planning on some day trips in my region, Kanto, as I'm committed to work on the Thursdays and Fridays that some people can take off.

Your 2026 food omiyage / souvenir picks?

I know this question has probably been asked several times in the past, but it is also the kind of question to which the answer changes frequently! So, I am curious - what are your top food souvenir picks for 2026? I am going home again soon, and I want to get food omiyage for several people, including the school where my son is about to finish a one-year exchange. I would love to hear your thoughts on the BEST Japanese food omiyage around this year! And / or the food omiyage you buy each and every time you are going home because it's always a big hit? I just had the photo in this post to hand, and it is not a recommendation per se, it's not bad and fits well into a suitcase, but it's not the best strawberry daifuku I ever had.

Your recommendations for office attire for women?

I dress office casual (no jeans) in an educational institution. I like to look classy and kind of fun. Which clothing retailers do you recommend for separates? Hard-wearing and machine-washable items? Either online or brick-and-mortar? I'll offer one Amazon Japan seller to get us started - Coen - コーエン with a good selection of tops and bottoms, I combine with my staples.

Photo in post not working?

Is it just me or is there something wrong with the "insert image" in the body of the text? I have tried on three different posts and even if I successfully upload a photo, it isn't showing on the post. It will show in the gallery though. Anyone else having the same problem?
