To Narita then Taiwan

ByTravelling Minion December 7, 2025 1 Comment
From Osaka to Taiwan I'm leaving Osaka today and spending the night in Narita before going onward to Taiwan. So after checking out from my hotel, I make my way to Kansai International Airport. One of the great things about Japan is the ease of going through the airport. I arrive roughly 30 minutes before my flight and I'm still able to make it to the gate and have time to do a little shopping. ...

It starts with a very quick hop from Vancouver to Seattle to overnight before an early morning flight to LA. I stay...
