Adventure In Japan - Part 1


Japan is one of the world’s most chaotic cities; a country with a long history of culture and tradition, and of course fantastic cuisine with authentic sushi and sashimi. I’ve been to Japan four times now and I find that there are still many things to do and many places to visit. My recent visit to Japan was earlier this year in late March to late April. This time in Japan was the spring season. The cities were filled with beautiful pink, white and red cherry blossom (sakura); however it was also raining which caused the sakura to blossom later than usual.  Nonetheless, it was enough to make me happy. 

Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto were the three cities I’ve visited and personally I think Kyoto was one of the best cities to see sakura.  

Kyoto – the places I’d recommend to visit are the Philosopher’s Path and Keage Incline.

Tokyo - the places I’d recommend to visit are Chidorigafuchi. You can visit during day time or night time where the trees and river are illuminated by beautiful lights; boat can also be rented; and Meguro River, which can also be visited during day or night for illumination.

If you book a holiday to Japan, make sure to visit Japan during Spring season to see these lovely flowers in its full bloom.

Bath~

Bath is a lovely town laced with canals and delicate buildings in the southwest region of Europe.  Famed for its Roman baths (hence the name) it is also great for walking around and shopping. As mentioned, the Roman Bath museum is one of its largest tourist attractions, and despite being busy it is well worth the trip. Though I have few photos, it is only due to it being more interesting to experience rather than photograph everything. The water is surprisingly quite warm and you can taste water from a separate source at the end. Warm and metallic taste, but worth it.  This was taken from the spot where the statue of Julius Caesar was The town itself is gorgeous with distinctly European townhouses. Pulteney Bridge is also another noteworthy spot as the bridge supports shops and a road across it.   We were given a guide of the canals and walked along them. Peaceful and scenic, you may also get to watch the use of the locks; mov...
