Japan is a gorgeous nation that I’ve wished to go to for a very long time. Due to the participation within the Japan Tourism Promotion Company (JNTO) “Hokkaido – A Love Track with a Thousand Vivid Flowers” program, I had a visit to Japan a lot sooner than I deliberate. I wish to current to you the factors that I favored essentially the most on my latest journey.
On July 10, 2019, I left the recent July warmth of Saigon behind and headed to the land of the rising solar.
As quickly as I arrived on the airport, the cool and recent air made me really feel relaxed and excited. On this 5-day and 4-night journey, we stopped first on the Flower Farm Lavender Tomita in Hokkaido. After a 2 hour journey from the airport, we arrived at our first vacation spot.
A protracted purple streak of lavender flowers stretching throughout the hill seems earlier than the eyes. The noon solar brings out the purple shade and perfume of this romantic flower.
Aside from the surroundings and recent air, this place additionally has extraordinarily distinctive and scrumptious meals. Probably the most particular is the lavender recent ice cream, with the scent of lavender flowers combined with the candy and wealthy style of milk, making diners keep in mind it without end.
After leaving Tomita Lavender Farm, we made our solution to Biei Blue Lake. Lake Biei is understood to be a mineral lake by accident created by people. The blue shade of the minerals amassed on the backside of the lake contrasts with the blue shade of the sky and timber, creating a gorgeous and unusual scene.
On the finish of a protracted day, our group rested at a mountainside resort known as Sounkyo Mount View Lodge. That is the place I skilled an Onsen sizzling spring bathtub for the primary time. After a protracted day of touring from airplane to bus, the 41 diploma warmth within the lake water appeared to dispel the fatigue in addition to the chilly Hokkaido climate.
Day 2 our group headed again to downtown Sapporo On the way in which again I finished at Furano Cheese Manufacturing facility. Right here I skilled the making of ice cream below the steering of the manufacturing facility workers. The sensation of holding your achievements in your fingers is at all times nice.
Probably the most fascinating cease on the second day was the Ishiya Chocolate Manufacturing facility. Though this place is a manufacturing facility, the panorama is sort of a miniature Disney Land park with a campus designed with open area, flower gardens and cartoon characters.
Once you go to right here, don't overlook to take the time to strive the native muffins! The chocolate chip cookies listed here are among the many tastiest snacks on the planet and will certainly fulfill these with a candy tooth!
After leaving Hokkaido, we headed to Japan's largest metropolis, Tokyo.
Our first cease in Tokyo was the Asakusa Kannon Temple – a solemn and historical temple. On either side of the highway to go to the temple, there are retailers promoting meals and souvenirs for vacationers who cease by. If you wish to purchase souvenirs in your family members, I believe Asakusa Kannon Historical Temple is the proper place for you.
Mount Fuji and the traditional village of Oshino Hakkai are the locations that left the deepest impression on this journey. One unhealthy factor although is that as a result of unhealthy climate, I couldn't see the entire panorama of Mt.Fuji.
The cool, cool air of the highlands, a small temple positioned on the aspect of a mountain with lengthy rows of pine timber, makes the surroundings right here extra poetic and leaves an impression on those that go to Fuji.
Once you come to Fuji, don't overlook to cease by the traditional village of Oshino Hakkai. The village isn’t positioned off the principle highway, however it’s important to cross a small path after which go slightly deeper to achieve the village gate. When you step right here, you’ll perceive why individuals typically evaluate this village to a fairy story, the paths resulting in the small village are surrounded by pine timber, flowers and timber, very poetic and very cute.
On the finish of the journey, though it was lengthy, there was nonetheless a sense of remorse and need for everybody within the group to remain right here – a spot the place the pure surroundings is gorgeous and the Japanese persons are pleasant and hospitable. I hope to return right here within the not too distant future – a spot individuals name the land of the rising solar.
