It was such a nice season to stay there. Cherry blossom were literally everywhere. Here are some pics!
Taken in Tokyo & at the base of the Tokyo Skytree, which was built in May 2012.
↓
Staying at Atagawa hot spring town (1hr train ride east from Tokyo)
↓
Visiting Kyoto, pics taken at one of the most famous shrine called, Kiyomizu Shrine. Lots of foreign visitors are in Kyoto. While we were riding a bus, we heard nothing but foreign language lol.
↓
While walking back from the Shrine, I saw this modded "Taxi", which was Toyota Crown Athelete. Hard to see, but there is a reflection of the taxi sign on the roof.
↓
Another interesting taxi. Very classic.
↓
Staying at the city of Osaka (40 min. train ride from Kyoto)
Universal Studio Japan. I went to the one in LA 15 years ago, so it was fun!
↓
Spiderman Bun lol.
↓
I can't believe that T2 is 20+ year-old-movie. Time flies!!
↓
Japanese style BBQ FTW!
↓
Two symbolic signs in Osaka
↓
Osaka's famous food, "Octopus Dumplings"!
↓
Staying in Fukuoka (2hr train ride from Osaka), which is the most southwesterly of its four main islands of Japan.
One of the most unique yet good ramen place. Their counter bar is very special. It's partitioned indiviidually, and the front is curtained. When you have a seat, you will not face their staff, or ppl sitting next to you. The purpose is to "concentrate on the taste of their ramen" lol. People line up to get into this store.
↓
Fukuoka regional style, pork broth (white soup) ramen.
↓
Staying at Beppu city in Ohita prefecture (2hr train ride from Fukuoka). Visiting "The Hell of Blood Pond Hot Spring", and "The Hell of the Tornado Geyser". Both of these are observatory.
↓
From the lobby of the hotel we were staying.
↓
Business class seat FTW!
↓
I also went to a store that sells nothing but aftermarket auto parts. Feel free to visit my other thread: A huge aftermarket auto parts store in Japan: Autobacs
Thanks for looking!!
