So, back in the month of October 2017, I went to Japan with my mom and my little brother. The reason why only the three of us went is because my dad had to go to work and my big brother did not want to skip school, lame right??? I know. Now, back to my Japan trip story. I’m going to tell you a glimpse about Japan and the places I went to while I was there, enjoy!
First, I flew to Osaka and we had a morning flight. The nice thing about having a morning flight is that once you have arrived at your destination, you can still go around the places near the hotel and yeah, that Is what I did on the first day landed in Japan. Despite of my tiredness, the curiosity towards the city raged me to explore a little of it.
Here’s a picture of me and my little brother on our first night in Japan
Then, I also went to UNESCO’s oldest village in Japan which is Shirakawago Village. I could still feel the traditional nuance while I was there since the old houses and buildings are well maintained by the government as it is used as a tourism spot. I also loved the view of mountain, river and paddy field where it added the sense of a peaceful village.
Takayama Sannomachi is also one of our stops in Japan. It’s also kind of an ‘old’ spot in Japan. We were able to taste local food and snacks there and of course I bought some souvenirs for my loved ones.
Lake Kawaguchi and Gotemba Factory Outlets. These are the winning places based on my experience where my nature and shopping sides are united in harmony because it is placed near to each other. In Gotemba, you can shop, about fashion, basically anything you want. There are a lot of branded brands here, from Gucci to Prada, and the price are…. FANTASTICCC! If you are a shopaholic, you have to be able to control yourself because this place is just magical. While I was at Lake Kawaguchi, I was mesmerized by the view of the little flowers planted there, and of course the Mount Fuji, and it was such a nice day to took picture while we were there. Even though it was a little bit chilly out there, I still got myself an ice cream! (btw, I think Japan has the best ice cream in the whole world).
Lastly, I went to the capital city of this japanese cherry blossom country, Tokyo. Tokyo offered many different things to be seen in the city and if you wish to do anything, you can do it all here, from fish market to, again, branded shopping or you can just go for a walk. Even though there are numerous spot in Tokyo, my most favorite was Shibuya Crossing, in which it is known as the busiest crossing street in the world. Fortunately, I got some pretty good photos here and also, with the famous Hachiko statue. On the same day, in the morning, I went to a fish market where they sell different kind of seafood, FRESH seafood, and for the salmon sashimi it costed way less and tasted better than we have here, so delicious!
Overall, Japan is really a nice place to travel to as they got everything and offered you a bunch of different things, that included their traditional heritage and also their modern-advanced technology. I recommend to go there in the spring or in the fall because it’s not that cold but it’s not that hot, just right for us Indonesians!:)
