Discover Oeschinensee: A Budget-Friendly Swiss Travel Gem

Just like I announced, here’s my latest video for this week’s video catch-up, as promised back in September!

Hiromi and I had an amazing time visiting Jungfraujoch, riding the train up to the “Top of Europe,” and soaking in the breathtaking views of the Aletsch Glacier. However, after experiencing both Jungfraujoch and Oeschinensee, if I had to choose just one destination, I would hands down pick Oeschinensee!

Here’s why: A round-trip ticket to Jungfraujoch from Lauterbrunnen costs 106.80 CHF, while a round-trip ticket to Oeschinensee is only 25.60 CHF! Not only is Oeschinensee significantly more budget-friendly, but it also offers stunning views with far fewer tourists. At Jungfraujoch, we found the area overwhelmed with visitors, which made it challenging to enjoy the scenery in peace and quiet.

As you’ll see in the video, our hiking adventures at Oeschinensee allowed us to enjoy breathtaking vistas without the crowds. I hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed our time at Oeschinensee!

Let me know if this inspires you to visit Oeschinensee yourself if you haven’t already!

This blog is for thoughtful adults who are starting again — in learning, creativity, or life — and want to grow steadily without noise or pressure.

Here you’ll find daily reflections and practical guides shaped by lived experience. The focus is on learning through doing: building consistency, adapting to change, and finding clarity in everyday practice.

The stories and guides here come from real processes — creative experiments, hands-on projects, life in rural Japan, working with nature, and learning new skills step by step. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is polished for performance. The aim is steady progress, honest reflection, and practical insight you can actually use.

If you’re curious about life in Japan, learning new skills at your own pace, or finding a calmer, more intentional way forward, you’re in the right place.
