Family Trip To Tokyo (26/3 - 30/3)
Yes! Finally I'm willing to update my blog!

Few months back, during March, I went to Japan with my family! Yeap, this time is a family trip. It has been 6 years since our previous family trip to Gold Coast. 6 years ago I'm only 18! (Gosh, time flies!).

I was excited to be there as Japan is one of the country I would like to visit for long! Add on, our travel period was spring! Which means its Sakura Season!! I always wanted to see Sakura in my life!

It was a short trip. We were there for 5D4N whereby 2D1N we spent at Mount Fuji. Turn out, I became the tour leader for my family cause once again I am the one who planned everything, from A-Z. And it was one of tiredest trip I ever been as we walked a lot everyday due to lack of time and too much things to explore!

Things we explore

1. Lake Kawaguchi, Mount Fuji



Advertising for Coca Cola lol

Yeah! Manage to tried their Rainbow Ice Cream even though its only 3 layers but still cost me a bomb 


2. Gotemba Premium Outlet



3. Mount Kachi Kachi Ropeway, Mount Fuji

Went all the way up to this spectacular view!


Tried their Mitarashi Dango, Japanese Dumpling
Not my type of snack

Brought this mochi just because it stated sakura flavour lol

Just can't get my eyes off from Mt. Fuji


4. Ueno Park

Crowded

Regrets: Did not manage to view fully bloom Sakura and also picnic under Sakura trees, like locals did!


5. Ameyoke Shopping Street, Ueno

Snow Crab!

Big fat octopus tentacles!


6. Sensoji Temple, Asakusa

Too many people queuing, no time to lose so just snap and went off


8. Shibuya Crossing

At Japan, its all about vending machine


Survived Tokyo's subway sandwich is a must experience in Japan!

Regrets: 1. Did not manage to visit Disneyland & Disney Sea!
               2. Did not manage to try sushi at Tsukuji Fish Market (queue damn long, they didn't want to wait)


Tips
1. Weather : Even though its Spring, the weather is still cold and dry. So please bring along your jackets and etc.

2. Day Passes Or Pasmo/Suica Card : If you're staying at Tokyo for a couple of days, please opt for their day passes. It will help you save up a lot on transportation.

3. Everywhere Is Crowded: Spring is indeed the best season to visit Japan for cherry blossoming but be prepare with the crowd. Nevertheless where you go, it will be packed with people.

4. Spend Wisely: When you're in Japan, probably you will lose control when you saw their dessert, you'll be like "Just take my money!" or maybe its just me lol.



5. Subway: If you saw this in a subway station means you can actually just press the button and exit. Please don't end up being like us, running towards the doors that opens and wondering why people were staring at you. (thinking back also makes me feel embarrassed)



6. Cross The Road Like A Boss: Yeap seriously you can do so without being alert of the cars on the road as they will automatically stop for you! Damn polite! Unlike at Malaysia, probably you get honk and cursed by the driver.

7. Don't Be Afraid To Ask: Japanese are really helpful. Even though there's language barriers, they will help you out no matter how! I experience once where we were lost when we reached Shinjuku Station, we have no idea where's our hotel. This Japanese guy help us to google, ask the concierge and lead us all the way! Impressive but also felt paiseh.

8. Walking In the Subway Station: Do not stop suddenly when you're walking. You might get scold as they are always rushing.


Conclusion: I will definitely be back and explore more!
