# Sand & Stars > A personal travel journal by Ondina — images, places, and things worth noticing, gathered since 2008 across dining, hotels, museums, and craft. The site favors intention, clarity, care, and conviction over rankings or “best-of” lists; entries range from acclaimed restaurants and design hotels to unassuming markets, temples, and workshops that reward a closer look. Sand & Stars (formerly A Blog Voyage) is organized as **Voyages** — destination-based posts covering restaurants, hotels, museums, temples, markets, shops, and landmarks across 13 countries — and **Fables From the Table**, longer culinary essays. Voyages posts below are grouped by country; within a country the post title generally names the specific city or venue. Each link goes to the live post on sandandstars.world. ## Japan (35) - [21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa](https://www.sandandstars.world/voyages/21st-century-museum-of-contemporary-art) -
