Cherry blossoms bloom on white snow

Maybe hardly ever do journeys to the Land of the Rising Solar have such attention-grabbing experiences. 4 days and three nights are neither quick nor lengthy, what’s lacking remains to be lacking, however what’s sufficient is sufficient.

DAY 1 - Tokyo greeted me with gentle rain

Essentially the most tiring day was at the moment, the journey was fairly lengthy, Japan was 2 hours completely different from Vietnam, so the entire group arrived at Haneda airport within the night. I used to be greeted by a lightweight drizzle and a chilly wind (word that though it was chilly, it was nothing in comparison with the chilly in Hanoi).
Dinner is legendary Japanese dishes comparable to grilled fish, Japanese rice, stir-fried beef with bean sprouts, Miso soup,…
After a tiring day, the most effective factor about this resort in Tokyo is that it affords an Onsen bathing service. Word: If you bathe, keep in mind to put on shorts underneath your pajamas and take a towel with you. You may comfortably put on this outfit in every single place within the resort besides the reception corridor.
When bathing, first it’s a must to be bare 😀 then go to the toilet to rinse after which simply step into the pool and get moist (Cautious, don't get your face and head moist). There are two plunge swimming pools, one indoor and one out of doors to your selection.
After you bathe, return to your room to loosen up, apply lotion, apply a masks, activate the air air purifier and get an excellent night time's sleep.

DAY 2 – Cherry blossoms are blooming in every single place

The flowers we went to see had already bloomed, however what was nice was that the principle seasonal cherry blossoms had additionally began to bloom.
The entire group moved to Shinjuku Gyoen Nationwide Park (Reference Hyperlink), the rain saved falling, but it surely couldn't cease the newbie photographers from searching flowers :D. As a result of tour, time spent at every location is sort of restricted, if attainable spend half a day exploring right here.

Within the night, the group went to the traditional village of Oshino Hakkai proper on the foot of Mount Fuji. I didn't really feel too impressed right here, in all probability as a result of it was already darkish.
Within the night, you possibly can keep on the Jiragon resort with a really stunning design. You may take a shower within the night.

DAY 3 – A contrasting picture of nature

The climate was getting colder and harsher, early within the morning I heard howling, I awoke and opened the curtain and a beautiful scene appeared. White snow fell, snowflakes flew throughout the sky, benches, timber and autos have been lined with a layer of snow about 10 cm thick. Maybe there’s happiness in misfortune, it snowed like this for the primary time in my life.

Nevertheless, the street to Mt.Fuji was blocked resulting from snow and rain, so the entire group sadly needed to see Mt.Fuji via images.

After returning to Tokyo, the entire group visited well-known procuring malls, from the digital district of Akihabara to the man-made island of Odaiba with the image of the Statue of Liberty, malls (Uniqlo, Zara, J!ns, …), Drug Retailer, Match Care Mart, … so superb.
