This third travelogue features a collection of zen or minimalist stories in the form of haiku written during my three short visits to Japan. The first was an educational study trip in 2000 during my sabbatical leave while working in Universiti Sains Malaysia. I visited universities, businesses and industries in Kyoto, Tokyo, Odaiba, Yamashita, and of course Disneyland Tokyo. Second, my Human Development Lab team and I presented three papers at Kyoto Sangyo University (KSU) in 2009. My third trip in 2014 was more of vacation in Nagoya, Osaka and Kyoto. However, I took the opportunity to visit and collaborate with colleagues at the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech), Aichi Prefecture as I was working in Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) then. Please allow Kaeru-san (me as the humble frog) to be your guide to the places he visited, the things he saw and people whom he met and share the emotions captured in the form of haiku. The last chapter will feature the thinking behind and tips on writing your own haiku.
