to japan

in april, i visited japan . japan is everything you expect it to be . everything looks exactly what i saw on sailormoon when i was little . minus the sailormoon obviously .

i loved how polite japanese people were . i loved the language, the people, the sceneries, the food .. i absolutely loved how clean everything was . ive never seen any streets that clean in my life . it looked like a gigantic real sized toy city . i heard singapore is even cleaner than japan . i wonder what that'd be like .

hello japan !

arrival . :)

our first night . everything in japan is really cute .
including our first hotel bed . im 5'2" . i think anyone over 5'5" would have their feet sticking out on this .
kiyomizudera .

yum . greentea & cherry icecream

cute little flower shop

on our way for lunch
visited the osaka castlecouples taking wedding pictures by osaka castle . cute .

streets so clean

my favorite part of the trip . sinsaibishi .
authentic okonomiyaki

takoyaki
on the deck of our overnight ship to oita
perfect sakura season
little village known for their hot springs
everywhere i go, i made sure to get some junk food
on our way up to mt aso . real active volcano !
lunch
& a stroll down the tourist street
then i found this ! shop with little fishes that eats dead skin off your feet .. lol
our hotel for the last night :(
i think what i love about the whole japanese culture is that it's completely type A . i didnt think a culture, not a person, the whole culture could be so leaned towards one side of the spectrum . its detail oriented, fast paced, competitive, ambitious, workaholics .. perfectionist . with these descriptions i would think the whole country would be so stressed to the point where everyone is cranky and rude . but nope . not japan . it somehow manages to be so polite and .. did i mention the streets are super clean ?

& that theyre super cutesy with almost everything ?
they even have a heart-shaped rollercoaster

japan comes pretty damn close to what my world would look like if i can make up and control my own .
