Off to Okinawa etc.

After taking more than 300 pictures in a week of being here, I am off to another trip to Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Okinawa!

I decided not to bring my laptop since it’ll add more weights on my already-heavy-luggage and so I’ll be gone for a week on this blog again… but will be back with more pictures and I still have so much to post from this previous week so I’m gonna be posting more stuff after I come back!

Here’s a Rice Ball Stand I saw in Tokyo – how cool!

Shinkansen (Bullet Train)

I bought a Japan Rail Pass this time and so I can ride any JR trains/buses including Shinkansen for 7 days – I highly recommend buying this pass if you are thinking of traveling to Japan, you can pretty much go anywhere with this pass.

After seeing too many things and lots of friends in Tokyo (I can’t post everything so I’m moving on to next, but I had a blast! in just 2 days!) I went back to my home, Takamatsu, Kagawa with Shinkansen.

Tokyo Station Shikansen platform:

Inside – so clean and seats are big and spacey!

It was a bit cloudy so it’s hard to see, but in the background, you can see the great Mt. Fuji. HUGE!!!

So amazing. I would have to visit Mt. Fuji again soon… next time for sure!
