Day 2 (7 Apr 2010) - Furusato....

After wake up, have a delicious breakfast prepared.... yummy!

After breakfast... sekali lagi masuk onsen.... biasanya waktu ni tak ada orang... so line clear!

 

Takano-san sent us to Echigo-Yuzawa Station to catch our Shinkansen to Omiya. Why Omiya and not Tokyo? Coz nak singgah to my old School... Shibaura Institute of Technology at Higashi Omiya.

Dari platform boleh nampak Tomato Game Center.... tmpt ini la yg aku selalu abiskan masa (dan duit?) dgn member sama belajar dulu... especially yg rumah dia 10 langkah jer dari kedai game tu... (kenyit mata kat pian...)  biasanya kalau dulu, sekali main 100 Yen kat tmpt lain, tapi kat sini 50 yen jer... 100 Yen tu taraf2 seringgit kita ler...

 Check-in kat Otsuka Station Hotel... then proceed to Asakusa

Singgah makan soba dulu sebelum balik hotel..

Sampai kat Otsuka Station, ada gerai Sushi dok buat lelong... tangkap sepaket antara  yg paling mahal, sebab ada discount 50%...

 Lepas makan... lepak jap...tgk jam,baru pukul 7 mlm... awal lagi... keluar jalan2 Shibuya kejap..

Hachiko....

Day 1 (6 Apr 2010) - Furukon Ryoko? Hanami daa...

First of all, this blog just created and this is my very first post.. iI try to put all information ofmy trip in the past and future. So,  let's start with my trip to Japan on 5th April 2010...  aku update ler sikit demi sikit....

I took Singapore Airline, so kenalah transit di Changgi.... what to do... that's the cheapest route I got.... but I can try the most talk in town airplane.... A380! 

Arrived on 6th April morning at Narita Airport.....

Welcome to Japan!

Then I took Narita Express to Tokyo... tempat pertama yg dituju, Shinjuku Gyoen. This is one of the recommended spot for "Hanami" or watch cherry blowsom. org Jepun ni suka picnic bawah rimbunan pokok sakura yg berbunga.... memula ingat nak ke  Ueno Koen... tapi memikirkan takut crowded sangat kat sana, aku pun sampailer ke sini... sebenarnya aku x pernah sampai ke sini ..hee.. hee... hee...

Ada banyak pintu nak ke Shinjuku Gyoen ni... tapi aku pergi ikut Sendagaya gate... reason? of course ler sebab aku guna JR Pass...

Dah habis puas tengok sakura.... apa lagi, ke Tokyo Station... I'll take shinkansen to Echigo Yuzawa. Echigo Yuzawa ni memang terkenal dengan winter sport... masa winter,memang byk org  dtg sini utk layan ski or snowborad... tapi masa aku pergi tu dah early spring... salji pun dah banyak cair... 90% of the ski resort closed by end of March..

Deretan teksi depan Echigo Yuzawa Station... tapi aku x naik pun, sebab Takano-san, owner tmpt aku menginap akan datang ambil... tgh tunggu dia la ni..

Tanglung depan pintu utama ke Urakonoyu Takanoya

siapa sanggup mandi sungai ni angkat tangan! sure sejuk smpi ke tulang hitam punya..

Deretan pokok sakura yg belum berbunga.. ikut dari maklumat org tempatan, area ni,hujung bulan April baru sakura start berbunga... mmg logic pun.. sejuk lagi kat sini... sakura pun malu nak keluar..

Dinner is ready... oishikatta!

lepas dinner... apa lagi ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
